Arsenal denied Liverpool the chance to be crowned Premier League champions on Easter Sunday with a commanding 4-0 victory over Ipswich, but a crucial win over Leicester has brought the Reds closer to the title. With Arsenal’s midweek match against Crystal Palace now pivotal, Liverpool will secure a record-equalling 20th league title with a win against Tottenham on April 27.
The game against Leicester seemed to be heading towards a frustrating goalless draw until Trent Alexander-Arnold made his return from injury, scoring the match-winning goal in the 76th minute. The goal, his first-ever left-footed strike, followed a series of near-misses for Mohamed Salah and Diogo Jota, who both hit the post and crossbar earlier in the match.
Alexander-Arnold’s celebration in front of the traveling fans reflected the magnitude of the moment, with the team now just one win away from the Premier League crown. “We’re so close now,” said Alexander-Arnold, reflecting on his return to fitness and the significance of the goal.
With Leicester struggling at the bottom, Liverpool’s victory keeps them on track for the title, and they could now win it without playing again, depending on Arsenal’s result.
