Salah got his customary Boxing Day goal with eight minutes remaining, feeding a left-footed effort into the bottom corner past Jakub Stolarczyk, who was making his Leicester debut.



After two late goals from Fulham, Chelsea squandered the chance to reduce the deficit once again and Thursday's triumph for Liverpool bridged the gap further to reigning champions, Manchester City.

Arsenal can cut the deficit to six points, should they beat strugglers Ipswich Town on Friday night.
