April 21, 2025 – Liverpool, England
Liverpool one step away from Premier League title after a gritty 1-0 victory over Leicester City at King Power Stadium.
Liverpool One Step Away from Premier League Title After Gritty Victory
Liverpool moved within touching distance of the title thanks to Trent Alexander-Arnold’s second-half goal. Arne Slot’s team now needs just one more win to secure the club’s 20th league championship.
A Tough Battle at King Power Stadium
Although Liverpool dominated possession, they struggled to break down Leicester early.
Mohamed Salah hit both posts in the first half. Mads Hermansen made several excellent saves for Leicester, and Wilfred Ndidi nearly shocked the visitors by hitting the post.
Liverpool, however, showed resilience again. Substitute Trent Alexander-Arnold produced a thunderous finish in the 65th minute to seal the vital three points.
Trent Alexander-Arnold Delivers When It Matters
Returning from an ankle injury, and amid transfer rumors linking him to Real Madrid, Alexander-Arnold gave Liverpool fans a moment they will not forget.
Sliding in celebration after the goal, he showed passion and leadership when it mattered most.
Arne Slot:
“The headline today should be the goal he scored, not his contract situation. He showed how much he cares.”
Liverpool Closing in on History
Liverpool fans, denied the chance to celebrate the 2020 title properly due to Covid restrictions, sang long after the final whistle.
If Arsenal avoid defeat midweek, Liverpool can clinch the title next Sunday against Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield.
Arne Slot:
“One league title in 35 years with no full celebration. This one will be different.”
