Liverpool’s Premier League title hopes took a significant boost as Trent Alexander-Arnold scored a late winner against Leicester City, relegating the Foxes to the Championship. The 26-year-old full-back struck 14 minutes from time with an angled effort after Liverpool dominated play at King Power Stadium.
Alexander-Arnold, who has been linked with a free transfer move to Real Madrid, celebrated wildly with his teammates and fans after scoring his first goal in nine games since returning from an ankle injury. The win moved Liverpool within three points of the title, setting up a potential coronation on Sunday against Tottenham Hotspur.
Salah had a chance to open the scoring early on but saw his low drive hit both posts. Ndidi also hit the woodwork for Leicester, but Alexander-Arnold’s finish came too late for the Foxes. The stage is now set for Liverpool’s title win, while Leicester will return to the Championship after nine consecutive home games without scoring.
