How was it not a back 5? We had three centre halves and two full backs, neither of which gets picked for their attacking prowess.

It was a back 3 with Drinkwater intended to float in front of them, Taylor and Elmohamady were deployed as wingbacks and that is why Hause got caught out playing left back for one of the goals. Taylor was nowhere to be seen and the defensive line was a back 3.
To be fair Taylor was nowhere near left back for their first either, but that was down to him deciding to make a half arsed attempt to close their defence down in their half and then jog back into position as Mahrez ran into the empty field left in front of him.
