Liverpool made it two victories in four days by coming from behind to beat Leicester City 3-1 and prevent the Foxes from climbing off the bottom of the Premier League.

Simon Mignolet was unfortunate to score an own goal after Leonardo Ulloa had struck the post, but Liverpool were back on level terms four minutes later when Adam Lallana fired home.

A calm finish from the returning Steven Gerrard handed the visitors the lead early in the second half, before Wes Morgan was shown a red card for bringing down Rickie Lambert moments after allowing the Liverpool forward to pull away from him.

Jordan Henderson secured the points late on as Leicester's poor run of form continued.

Goal

Kasper Schmeichel: Unable to do anything to prevent Liverpool's first two goals, but it wasn't a great night for the Dane. A poor piece of handling allowed Jordan Henderson to secure the points late on, and the Foxes shot-stopper was lucky not to give away a penalty earlier in the second half. (5/10)

Defence

Ritchie De Laet: Challenged Raheem Sterling impressively early on, but looked uncomfortable following Liverpool's wide players when they drifted inside. (6/10)

Wes Morgan: Outmuscled by Lambert shortly before being shown a straight red card which changed the match. Despite being short of his best tonight, his suspension is a big blow to the Foxes. (5/10)

Marcin Wasilewski: Never looked sure who to mark when Liverpool's midfielders charged forward. Made a number of important clearances, but he was caught out of position on too many occasions. (6/10)

Paul Konchesky: Found it difficult to get involved with his attack-minded teammates, but rarely put a foot wrong at the back. Removed late on as Leicester went in search of a way back into the game. (6/10)

Midfield

Esteban Cambiasso: Typically busy in the middle of the pitch, and the Argentine started most of his side's attacks. Missed an open goal in the first half after Mignolet's poor pass gifted him the ball on the edge of the box. (6/10)

Matty James: A lively presence in midfield for the hosts. Tracked the Liverpool runners closely throughout the game, while offering his side a good option going forward. (7/10)

Riyad Mahrez: The Algerian saw plenty of the ball in advanced areas, but his end product was a big disappointment. Nigel Pearson would have expected the attacking midfielder to make a bigger impact. (5/10)

Jeffrey Schlupp: Worked hard all evening to contribute at both ends of the pitch. Unable to find the space he craved on a regular basis, but a good performance nonetheless. (7/10)

Attack

Jamie Vardy: Trusted to chase down longer balls and link play with the midfielders, and despite putting in an impressive shift, he couldn't get close enough to Ulloa on a regular basis. (6/10)

Leonardo Ulloa: Played a key role in breaking the deadlock, but Liverpool's defence did a good job of keeping him quiet in the second half. (6/10)

Substitutes

Marc Albrighton: Lively on the wing after being sent on in the 80th minute. Could find himself in the starting lineup on the weekend. (6/10)

Goal

Simon Mignolet: Despite seeing his side return to winning ways in the past few days, Brendan Rodgers should be concerned about the form of his goalkeeper. The Belgian was unfortunate in scoring an own goal, but he looked nervous throughout the first half as his kicking let him down. (5/10)

Defence

Javier Manquillo: Struggled to deal with the pace of Vardy and Schlupp on the wing, before being taken off at the break due to injury. (5/10)

Martin Skrtel: Made a nervy start to the game with a couple of poor clearances which put pressure on the visitors. Improved as the game progressed to keep Ulloa quiet. (6/10)

Kolo Toure: Another decent performance from the Ivorian, who is beginning to prove some of his critics wrong in the centre of defence. A lack of pace threatened to cause problems, but his positioning was crucial when taking on the lively Vardy. (7/10)

Glen Johnson: Much like Skrtel, the England international was sloppy early on. However, he looked far more comfortable after moving to right-back in the second half. (6/10)

Midfield

Lucas Leiva: Trusted to protect the visiting defence, but he struggled to keep on tabs on Mahrez, who should have punished the Brazilian on a number of occasions. Much better in the second half as Liverpool held off the challenge from the Foxes. (6/10)

Steven Gerrard: Impressive return from the skipper. Gerrard appeared to enjoy playing slightly further forward, and his excellent passing was a constant threat to the Leicester defence. (7/10)

Jordan Henderson: The vice-captain's energy in midfield was important at both ends of the pitch. Celebrated his 150th appearance for the club by securing the points late on. (7/10)

Adam Lallana: Liverpool's best player. Returned to the starting lineup with a fine performance full of impressive passing and clever runs in the final third of the pitch. Scored a fine equaliser to boost the visitors in the first half. Taken off in the 70th minute as Rodgers looked to protect the lead. (8/10)

Raheem Sterling: It should not be a surprise that Liverpool's poor form came when Sterling was struggling to produce his best. An improved display will encourage his supporters. Leicester struggled to deal with his direct approach as he threatened in the centre and on both wings. (7/10)

Attack

Rickie Lambert: The former Southampton striker didn't get many chances to test Schmeichel, but his hold-up play was important. He played a vital role in creating space for the likes of Sterling and Lallana. (7/10)

Substitutes

Alberto Moreno: Replaced Manquillo at the break, and performed well as the Liverpool defence improved in the second half. (6/10)

Joe Allen: A calm head in midfield late on. Kept the ball well and offered good protection for his defenders. (6/10)

Dejan Lovren: Liverpool wasted time late on by sending the Croatian on in stoppage time. (5/10)
