After Arsenal won by playing against a city of Ipswich of 10 men earlier during the day, Liverpool knew that they could not win the title today. A victory, however, would leave the Reds just three points from their second Premier League title and the 20th flight title. Liverpool was everywhere in Leicester City early and often, hitting the post in the first minutes and generating several big chance throughout the first half. The Reds really started to run the screws in the second half, shaping luck after chance, but it seemed that a force field was stretched in front of the Foxes net. In a moment shouting for a hero, Trent Alexander-Arnold entered the fray and dragged his team to a victory with a strike from the left foot in the 76th minute.
Below, we take a look at certain winners and losers of the night and try to unravel the story of the facts.
Winners
Trent Alexander-Arnold
With all the swirling rumors according to which the SCOUSE at the back is on the way to Madrid, Trent returned from injury to score the winning goal after being substitute for Conor Bradley. Trent launched the ball in order with its left foot after Liverpool hit the post and the crossbar before the ball arrives. He unleashed an epic cry while tearing his shirt to celebrate after dragging his team three points closer to another first League title.
1 – The winner of Trent Alexander -Arnold for Liverpool was the 23rd goal of his professional career (all competitions), but the first which was not marked with his right foot (one on the left, 22 on the right). Swing.

Kop traveling
Fans outside were in full throat and could frequently be heard supporters of the apathetic house throughout the match.
Defensive nucleus

Liverpool was everywhere in Leicester City, especially in the second half. The Reds finished with 10 shots on the target of 28 shots in total, with 9 major chances created.

Losers
Finish
While Liverpool created a lot of good chance, they could only finish that one. A mixture of luck (see below), a decent goalkeeper / defense, and some simply not a great finish prevented the Reds from getting rid of the game.
The objective of the objective
Liverpool struck the woodwork soon and later against Leicester City. Mohamed Salah thought he had marked in the first minutes, but his shot came out of the inside of the nearby post before passing through the goal to hit the inside of the distant post and the exterior. Later in the match, Mohamed Salah and Diogo Jota hit the post and the crossbar in the sequence that led to the goal of Trent Alexander-Arnold.
City of Leicester
With the loss, the foxes were officially relegated. Bye.
Math title
With Arsenal winning against the unfortunate Boys Tractor, Liverpool could not seal the title of the Premier League this weekend. The Reds have done what they had today to obtain the victory and are now held at three points to seal the title mathematically with five games to play. If Arsenal lost against Crystal Palace in the middle of the week, Liverpool could receive the title before playing the Spurs next weekend.
What happens next
Liverpool will return home to face the Spurs next Sunday. Regardless of what’s going on with Arsenal on Wednesday, expect it to be an atmosphere of celebration in Anfield.
