TRENT ALEXANDER ARNOLD put the Premier League title champagne on ice for Liverpool after scoring the only goal of the game in a 1-0 win which confirmed Leicester's relegation.

Alexander-Arnold, making his comeback from injury, climbed off the bench to score the 76th-minute winner at the King Power and put his side on the brink of glory.

The Reds will get their hands on a 20th top-flight title and a second in the Premier League era if Arsenal fail to beat Crystal Palace in midweek.

Liverpool fans will surely be hoping the Gunners do not slip up as it would mean they get the chance to see their side win the title at Anfield against Tottenham next Sunday something they were robbed of in 2019-20 as their success under Jurgen Klopp was secured behind closed doors due to Covid-19.

While Alexander-Arnold has been in the treatment room both Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk have signed new contracts.

It remains to be seen whether the right-back will follow suit, but if he does not he ensured his legacy by scoring such an important goal.
