Trent Alexander-Arnold made a triumphant return to Liverpool’s lineup, scoring the decisive goal in a 1-0 victory over Leicester City at the King Power Stadium — a result that sealed the Foxes’ relegation to the Championship.
The high-stakes clash in the East Midlands kicked off with immediate drama. Just three minutes in, Mohamed Salah broke through Leicester’s backline and looked certain to score, only for his shot to incredibly strike both posts and stay out.
That early let-off gave Leicester a spark, and they nearly capitalized through Wilfred Ndidi, whose effort rattled the woodwork. Salah continued to threaten and forced a sharp save from Mads Hermansen, but Leicester held firm throughout a competitive first half, keeping the title-chasing Reds at bay.

Liverpool grew into the game, dominating out wide and sustaining pressure late in the first period, but the sides went into the break level at 0-0.
After the restart, Liverpool carved out more chances, but Hermansen and wasteful finishing kept the scoreline untouched. That changed when Alexander-Arnold came off the bench and, with his weaker left foot, netted the only goal of the game — his first ever left-footed strike — to seal all three points.
With the win, Liverpool edge ever closer to Premier League glory — now just one win away.
