In a dramatic Premier League clash at the King Power Stadium, Trent Alexander-Arnold came off the bench to seal a crucial 1-0 win for Liverpool.

The win puts them just three points away from clinching the title while confirming Leicester City’s relegation.

For Leicester, it was heartbreak. The Foxes made history in the worst possible way, becoming the first top-flight side to go nine home games without scoring.

With fans leaving early, it was a somber farewell to top-tier football.

The spotlight now shifts to manager Ruud van Nistelrooy, who’s struggled since taking over in November.

Just 8 points in 20 games tells its own story, and it’s hard to see him staying on as the Foxes prepare for life back in the Championship.
