On May 14th, at the King Power Stadium, Trent Alexander-Arnold scored a late winner for Liverpool to secure a 1-0 victory over relegated Leicester City. The goal, his 23rd of his professional career and first with his left foot, came with 14 minutes remaining in the match. Alexander-Arnold's emotional celebration, which included planting his shirt on the corner flag, was a poignant moment for the local Liverpool player, amid mounting speculation about his future at the club.
Liverpool's win, combined with Arsenal's draw against Crystal Palace, ensured that the Premier League title race was all but over, with Liverpool set to claim their 20th league title next week at Anfield against Tottenham Hotspur. Liverpool's manager, Arne Slot, stated that the team is focused on the upcoming game and the players deserve a day off to celebrate their title win.
Alexander-Arnold, who made his 350th appearance for his boyhood club, remained tight-lipped about his contract situation, saying that he would not speak on the matter. The defender's contract is set to expire in the summer, and there have been reports linking him with a move to Real Madrid. However, the outpouring of support from the Liverpool fans during his emotional celebration may provide hope for those hoping that Alexander-Arnold will stay at the club.
