Moment will live with me forever – Trent Alexander-Arnold puts Reds on brink

Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold says his late winner at Leicester, which put his side on the brink of the Premier League title, will live with him forever.

Alexander-Arnold made a stunning return from injury as he climbed off the bench to score the decisive 76th-minute goal in the visitors’ 1-0 triumph at the King Power Stadium.

It relegated Leicester and left the Reds needing just three more points to get their hands on a 20th top-flight title and a second in the Premier League era.

It remains to be seen whether the right-back, who is out of contract in the summer, will follow Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk in signing a new deal amid strong links to Real Madrid, but if he does leave he ensured his legacy by scoring such an important goal.

Asked about his future, he said on Sky Sports: “I’ve said all season, I’m not going to speak on my situation. I’m not going to go into details.

“But days like these are always special. Scoring goals, winning games and being close to winning titles are special moments that will live with me forever. I’m glad to be part of it.

“I’m eager to play and I was happy to contribute with the goal – it was a big one. I think we’re one win away now, very close.”

Alexander-Arnold faced strong criticism when reports suggested he had settled on a move to the Spanish capital, with pundit and former Reds defender Jamie Carragher one of the strongest voices.

But boss Arne Slot, who is on the verge of delivering title success in his first season in charge at Anfield, said his player’s commitment to the club cannot be questioned.
