Kasper Schmeichel has admitted his Leicester City side were outclassed against a Liverpool team he ranks as the best in the world.
The goalkeeper was helpless on Thursday as the Reds romped to a 4-0 win at the King Power Stadium through a Roberto Firmino brace, alongside a James Milner penalty and a Trent Alexander-Arnold strike to cap the display.
Schmeichel acknowledged the greatness of his team's opponent and admitted the Foxes were some way behind the Merseyside club and Manchester City.
He added that the Premier League title is now Liverpool's to lose.
“They are the best side in the world along with Manchester City,” the Denmark international told Amazon after the game.
"We strive to be like Manchester City and Liverpool but they are a lot further along in their journey.”
"They are a top side. It's theirs to lose isn't it?"
