LEICESTER, England -- The Liverpool fans did not want to go home. Long after the final whistle had blown to signal their team's 1-0 victory over Leicester City on Sunday, supporters of Arne Slot's side stayed in the thousands to serenade the club that could, within a matter of days, be crowned Premier League champion.
It had not been the most convincing of performances from Liverpool, but those who had made the trip from Merseyside to the East Midlands did not care one bit.
And why should they? Having been denied the chance to celebrate the club's last title win in 2020 owing to the coronavirus pandemic, Liverpool fans now seem determined to soak up every second of this extraordinary season, with only one win now required to mathematically confirm the Reds' coronation.
