In a tense encounter that saw one team's fate sealed and another's title dream inch closer, Liverpool secured a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Leicester City at the King Power Stadium, Leicester.  The solitary goal came in the 76th minute courtesy of a stunning left-footed volley from substitute Trent Alexander-Arnold, marking his first career goal with his weaker foot.

The leaders of the pack Liverpool found it difficult to break down a resolute Leicester defence, with both Mohamed Salah and Diogo Jota hitting the woodwork in a chaotic sequence before the decisive goal. Leicester had a brief moment of hope when Conor Coady's header was disallowed for a foul in the build-up. The defeat against Liverpool officially confirms Leicester City's relegation.

This victory propels Liverpool to 79 points with five games remaining, restoring its 13-point lead over their closest rivals, Arsenal, who earlier in the day cruised to a 4-0 victory against Ipswich Town. This result means Liverpool cannot mathematically clinch the title this weekend.
