Liverpool Grind Out Win at Leicester, One Victory Away from Premier League Glory

Trent Alexander-Arnold made a dramatic return from injury, smashing home a thunderous volley in the 76th minute to earn Liverpool a gritty 1-0 victory over Leicester City at the King Power Stadium a result that puts them just one win away from securing the Premier League title.

In a chaotic sequence leading up to the winner, both Mohamed Salah and Diogo Jota rattled the frame of the goal, as Liverpool relentlessly pushed for a breakthrough.

The ball eventually fell to Alexander-Arnold on the edge of the area, and the right back made no mistake, rifling it past Mads Hermansen to send the travelling fans into celebration.

Leicester had briefly thought they’d broken their home scoring drought moments earlier, but Conor Coady’s header was ruled out after Patson Daka was judged to have fouled Alisson Becker in the buildup.

The win restores Liverpool’s 13-point cushion over Arsenal, who could hand the Reds the title as early as Wednesday if they fail to beat Crystal Palace.

The result also cements Liverpool’s defensive dominance this season, this was the second time they’ve registered 10 or more shots on target without conceding any in a league match

For Leicester, the defeat leaves them stuck in 19th place on 18 points, with time running out in their battle to avoid relegation.
