Liverpool beat Leicester City 1-0 on Sunday to move one step closer to winning the Premier League title.

The Reds knew they needed two more wins to guarantee their status as champions, but looked to be heading towards a 0-0 draw at the King Power Stadium.

However, Trent Alexander-Arnold had other ideas.



The Scouser has been attracting headlines for months as he stands on the verge of leaving Liverpool on a free transfer.

'Trent Alexander-Arnold has changed his tune - he would be better off staying at Liverpool'	'I left Liverpool for Real Madrid on free transfer - I felt lonely at times'	Michael Owen hails the 'beauty' of Trent Alexander-Arnold's Liverpool exit as he gives verdict on the defender's impending move to Real Madrid - after doing the same himself!

But although some supporters have been disappointed with Alexander-Arnold, he showed why Real Madrid are so desperate to sign him by popping up with a terrific late winner.

After the game, it was a surprise to see Trent stand up in front of the Sky Sports cameras for a post-match interview.

The right-back has been dodging the press all season long, but spoke at length for the first time in a while, including answering questions on his future.

And having listened to his answers, Jamie Carragher gave his verdict on what he’d heard.

After slamming in the winning goal, it was virtually impossible for Alexander-Arnold to avoid speaking to the cameras after the game.

The 26-year-old has looked happier over the past week or so, though, and it was nice to see him give his thoughts post-game.

Alexander-Arnold praised the Liverpool fans but stopped a long way short of committing his future to the club.

“But I felt more on edge during that interview then during the game!”

“He hasn’t really spoken all season.

“I think most people feel that decision has been made, so it is difficult for him to give an honest answer.”

This was a nice moment for Alexander-Arnold and he certainly celebrated it with gusto, but make no mistake: he will not be at Liverpool next season.

If he is staying, the academy graduate had a huge chance to show some indication of that here.

Instead, he dealt more riddles to the Liverpool fans, along with some suggestions of making memories and special meoments.

Nobody quite seems to want to come out and say it, but in our opinion, Sunday’s game and everything that followed is the clearest indication yet that Alexander-Arnold is going.

That is fine, of course, he can do as he pleases.

But don’t expect Liverpool fans to like it.
