Liverpool took a huge step towards the title of Champion of England by winning on the lawn of Leicester, this Sunday in the Premier League (0-1). Trent Alexander-Arnold offered the Reds victory shortly after entering the game. A result which condemns the Foxes to the relegation to the Championship.<\/p>\n

Trent Alexander-Arnold forced the lock of Leicester five minutes after entering the game this Sunday in the Premier League (0-1). A success that allows Liverpool to get a little closer to the title of Champion of England. Opposite, the Foxes, led by ex-attacker Ruud Van Nistelrooy, are officially relegated to the second division after this home defeat, the ninth without scoring the slightest goal in the league.<\/p>\n

Five days before the term, the leader Liverpool (79 points) retains his thirteen lengths ahead of his Dauphin Arsenal (2, 66 pts), winner earlier on the lawn of Ipswich (0-4). Liverpool can be crowned next weekend, or even on Wednesday in the event of a home arsenal defeat against Crystal Palace.<\/p>\n

The raging celebration of Alexander-Arnold<\/h2>\n

Leicester was placed in a fed fire during the vast majority of the game, but too imprecise until the entrance of Alexander-Arnold (71st), back after a month of absence on injury. The side born and trained in Liverpool, whose contract expires at the end of the season, took five minutes before shaking the nets on a recovery that Mads Hermansen only braked (76th, 1-0). Alexander-Arnold celebrated his goal in a raging way, shirtless in front of a mad visitor parking.<\/p>\n

Before that, the Reds attacked throughout the meeting, being imprecise or unlucky. A shot from Mohamed Salah hit the right post, then the left post of Hermansen (3rd). The goalkeeper stopped a good cover of the Egyptian (11th) and a shot at close range of Kostas Tsimikas (57th). On the action leading to the goal of Alexander-Arnold, a post pushed a Salah's head and the transverse bar brought a recovery from Diogo Jota. Leicester also touched the amounts with Wilfred Ndidi (10th) and scored a goal, however invalidated by the referee because of a prior charge by Patson Daka on Alisson (67th).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
