Leicester City 0 – 1 Liverpool
Just one win away from a record Premier League title, the team famously known as “The All Reds” moves ever closer to glory.
Liverpool dominated the match, keeping Leicester City completely pinned back and launching wave after wave of attack—but the breakthrough just wouldn’t come. That was until Trent Alexander-Arnold stepped up to end the long wait. His decisive strike brought Arne Slot’s side to the brink of reclaiming the Premier League crown.
The Reds claimed a 1-0 victory at Leicester’s home ground on Sunday. With that result, they are now just one win away from equaling Manchester United’s record for the most top-flight titles in English football history.
Liverpool top the table with 79 points from 24 wins and 7 draws in 33 games, holding a 13-point lead over second-placed Arsenal.
For Leicester City, the defeat confirmed their relegation to the Championship. The former Premier League champions now sit 19th with only 18 points.
Liverpool nearly made an explosive start to the game, with a great chance falling to Mohamed Salah in the 3rd minute—but his shot struck the post.
As the game progressed, Liverpool’s attacks became more intense, yet the goal remained elusive. Finally, in the 76th minute, they broke the deadlock.
Even that goal came after a flurry of close chances. Virgil van Dijk’s header failed to go in, and efforts from Salah and Diogo Jota were denied by the woodwork. But the ball fell to Alexander-Arnold on the left side of the box, and he made no mistake—smashing it in with a powerful shot to give Liverpool the lead.
In the heat of the moment, the English defender celebrated by removing his jersey, earning himself a yellow card—but by then, Anfield hearts were already celebrating.
