Liverpool beat Leicester City 1-0

After the leaders were thwarted by the hapless Foxes, the full-back, who has not yet signed a new contract and has been strongly linked to a free transfer move to Real Madrid at the conclusion of the season, scored 14 minutes from time at King Power Stadium.

Following shots by Mohamed Salah and Diogo Jota hit the woodwork in a goalmouth scramble, Alexander-Arnold scored with a left-footed angled strike to cap off a fantastic comeback since suffering an ankle injury in early March. Before hanging it from the corner flag, the 26-year-old tore off his jersey and celebrated loudly with the jubilant Liverpool supporters, demonstrating what the occasion meant. Arne Slot's team will now play Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield on Sunday in the title match; although, the outcome of Arsenal's home match against Crystal Palace on Wednesday might cause the festivities to begin earlier.
