SIMPLY THE CHESTZO

TAA may be Madrid bound, but bares his love for Reds affer late winner sets up Anfield title party

- JOHN CROSS

AFTER sealing two contract renewals, how ironic that the third player in the saga stole the show.

Trent Alexander-Arnold has not committed himself to Anfield despite Mo Salah and Virgil van Dijk putting pen to paper on new deals in the last ten days.

But surely no-one can now question his commitment and love for this club after seeing him celebrate the goal which pushed Liverpool one step closer to the title.

Alexander-Arnold came off the bench, broke Leicester's brave resistance and then raced to the away fans in the far corner of the ground as he ripped off his shirt in delight.

There has been as much of a sense of inevitability about Alexander-Arnold's departure as there has been about Leicester's impending relegation. Their fate was sealed by TAA's winner and, even though Liverpool will have to wait a little longer to be crowned champions. it is only delaying the inevitable. Arne Slot's side will be crowned champions if Arsenal lose at home to Crystal Palace on Wednesday - but the more likely coronation date will be next Sunday when they play hosts to Tottenham.
