Liverpool couldn't fully capitalize on Manchester City's latest slip-up in the Premier League title race, only drawing 1-1 with Leicester to extend its lead to five points on Wednesday.
Injury-hit Tottenham might be back in title contention after scoring twice from the 80th minute to rally to a 2-1 home win over Watford and move seven points behind Liverpool.
Chelsea dropped out of the top four on goal difference after getting thrashed 4-0 at Bournemouth in what proved to be a sobering league debut for its new striker Gonzalo Higuain, who was substituted after 65 minutes.
Liverpool looked on course to move seven points clear of City, which lost 2-1 at Newcastle on Tuesday, when Sadio Mane scored with just over two minutes played at Anfield.
But Leicester equalized on the stroke of halftime through Harry Maguire and Liverpool endured some nervous moments in the second half as it bids to win a first league title since 1990, and 19th overall.
In Wednesday's other game, Wilfried Zaha scored and was later sent off for Crystal Palace in a 1-1 draw at Southampton.
