Watch as Trent Alexander-Arnold scores rare left-footed winning goal which sends Leicester down – is this his last great Liverpool moment?

In what could be one of his final defining acts in a Liverpool shirt, Trent Alexander-Arnold lashed home a sensational left-footed winner to break Leicester City hearts, send the Foxes down, and keep the Reds firmly on course for the Premier League title.

The 25-year-old, who is widely expected to Real Madrid on a free transfer this summer, returned from injury in dramatic fashion.

Picking up the scraps after a chaotic goalmouth scramble, Trent rifled a deflected effort into the bottom corner in the 76th minute — his first-ever Premier League goal scored with his weaker foot.

As he tore away in celebration, ripping off his shirt in front of the away end, it felt like a classic Trent moment — one that will live long in the memory. But for many fans, that joy was tinged with frustration.

Rumours of a pre-agreed deal with Real Madrid have sparked anger among sections of the Liverpool , who feel the academy graduate should have committed his prime years to the club.

The moment was worth the wait. Not just for Liverpool fans — whose side now sit on the brink of a 20th league title — but for Trent, who reminded everyone of his game-changing quality in the final third.

The stats underline the Reds’ dominance. Arne Slot’s men ended the match with an xG of 2.62 compared to Leicester’s paltry 0.25.

Despite creating next to nothing, Leicester thought they’d equalised minutes earlier when Conor Coady headed home — only for it to be ruled out after Patson Daka was judged to have fouled goalkeeper Alisson.

That disappointment summed up Leicester’s day — and season. The defeat confirms their relegation from the Premier League after failing to score for a ninth straight home game.

For Liverpool, attention now turns to Wednesday night: if Arsenal drop points against Crystal Palace, the title will be theirs. If not, they’ll get the chance to seal it themselves against Tottenham next Sunday.
