Liverpool win confirms Leicester's relegation
Leicester City will be relegated from the Premier League after Trent Alexander-Arnold secured Liverpool a 1-0 victory at King Power Stadium.
The right-back made a quick impact on his return from injury to move Liverpool within one win of clinching the title.
Mohamed Salah struck both posts within three minutes, as his shot rolled along the goalline, before Wilfred Ndidi also hit the woodwork at the other end.
Mads Hermansen was in fine form in Leicester's goal, making great saves to deny Salah, Cody Gakpo and Kostas Tsimikas as Liverpool upped the pressure.
However, it was the Foxes who thought they had opened the scoring in the 67th minute when Conor Coady headed into an empty net from close range, but it was disallowed for a foul on Alisson by Patson Daka.
Salah and Diogo Jota then both hit the woodwork in a chaotic build-up to the winner before Alexander-Arnold's powerful volley finally beat Hermansen nine minutes later.
Liverpool restored its 13-point lead over Arsenal, which could hand it the title if it loses to Crystal Palace on Thursday (AEST). If not, the Reds can clinch it with a win over Tottenham Hotspur next weekend.
Leicester will be relegated with five games to spare, sitting 19th with 18 points, and unable to catch 17th-placed West Ham United.
It is the fifth time it has been relegated from the Premier League, with only Norwich City suffering more relegations with six.
