It seemed to be all sunshine & rainbows for Liverpool...then Lucas Leiva appeared.
The Reds dominated most of the first half thanks to a brilliant display on both ends of the pitch, scoring a couple of goals in the process courtesy of Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane. But as the game neared the end of the first half, Lucas Leiva "assisted" Jamie Vardy to cut his team's lead short.
Despite showing off his disastrous passing skills, Liverpool managed to take a two-goal lead once more thanks to a thunderous strike by Adam Lallana. Nonetheless, fans were unforgiving and trolled Leiva cruelly. Here are some of their comments.
Bet @LucasLeiva87 has @vardy7 in his dream team

Liverpool were terrific in the first half, but Leicester are still in it thanks to a little Lucas aid

I have slightly less confidence in Lucas

HT. Good half until Lucas decided he wanted to see how the team could walk with a bullet in its foot.

What on earth is up with Lucas? @LFC playing great football and now they donate a goal to @LCFC. We do sometimes make our lives difficult

Awful by Lucas, just awful.
