EPL: Trent-Alexander Arnold scores on 350th appearance as Leicester City get relegated
Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold celebrated his 350th Premier League appearance with a stunning strike that sealed a one-nil victory for the Reds against Leicester City.
The right-back, who made his return from injury after his side were knocked out by PSG in the Champions League, came on as a substitute in the 76th minute. He then delivered a powerful strike from outside a crowded 18-yard box to secure victory at the King Power Stadium.
The win not only brought Liverpool within a few points of securing their 20th league title but also confirmed Leicester City’s relegation from the Premier League.
Leicester’s season came to an end after a challenging run for the club as they sit 19th on the table with just 18 points.
Despite returning to the top flight this season and efforts to strengthen the squad, the team struggled throughout the campaign, becoming the first club in Premier League history to go nine consecutive home games without scoring.
Arne Slot’s side will be English champions if Arsenal lose to Crystal Palace on Wednesday or if they beat Tottenham at Anfield next Sunday.
