LEICESTER, England (AP) – When Liverpool lifts the English Premier League trophy in May–barring a monumental collapse–the end of a three-decade title drought will owe a lot to Trent Alexander-Arnold.
After a key role in the first three goals, Alexander-Arnold netted himself to add the final flourish in a 4-0 victory over Leicester on Thursday that sent Liverpool 13 points clear of the second-placed challenger.
And that’s with a game in hand, with half of the season remaining.
Victory in the chill of central England on Boxing Day came five days after the European champion added the Club World Cup to its trophy haul.
