Fans are all saying the same thing after Trent Alexander-Arnold’s goal against Leicester City

Alexander-Arnold blasts Liverpool in front and Reds supporters react on social media

Liverpool fans have reacted to Trent Alexander-Arnold's winning goal at Leicester City.

Alexander-Arnold is set to leave Liverpool to join Real Madrid when his contract expires at the end of the season after more than 20 years at his boyhood club.

He smashed the Reds into the lead at the King Power Stadium to take them a big step closer to an increasingly inevitable Premier League title.

The right-back blasted the first left-footed goal of his career through Leicester goalkeeper Mads Hermansen and it proved the only goal of an uninspiring Sunday afternoon fixture.

His goal condemned Leicester City to a ninth successive home defeat without scoring a goal.

The Foxes needed to win for a stay of execution and have now joined Southampton in being officially relegated straight back to the Championship.

Both teams have five matches left in the Premier League season and their fortunes could hardly be more different.

Liverpool need just one more win and could claim their second title of the Premier League era against Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield next Sunday.

If Crystal Palace beat Arsenal in midweek, they won't even need to wait until then.

Leicester have only pride left to play for as Ruud van Nistelrooy must contemplate life in the second tier.

Liverpool fans on social media have reacted to the crucial moment and Alexander-Arnold's celebration. After a difficult few weeks, the love is shining through again.

"Getting booed. Score a banger. Getting loved again," pointed out one user on X, formerly Twitter.

"I hope you know you're not allowed to leave now after celebrating like that," warned another.

"The 'King Power Stadium' is now renamed as the Trent Alexander-Arnold Stadium," added one jubilant Liverpool fan.

"Leicester relegated. Liverpool a win away from the title. And a masterpiece of celebration from their very own scouser," write another.

It wasn't all taken in good spirits, though, with one wag posting: "On a day when Jesus is being celebrated, Judas Trent Alexander-Arnold secures three points for Liverpool."

Alexander-Arnold has faced significant criticism from a section of Liverpool supporters since news emerged that he is expected to join Real Madrid on a free transfer.
