It took a long time and more than a few subs for Arne Slot’s Liverpool to move within a win of the Premier League title in Sunday’s 1-0 win over Leicester City at the King Power Stadium.
The Reds were denied by Leicester goalkeeper Mads Hermansen and a resolved Foxes side seeking to make relegation to the Championship wait at least another few days.
But Slot subbed Trent Alexander-Arnold into the game late, hoping that the newly-returned right back who may be moving away from Anfield this summer could summon a winner.
Usually he’d do that with an assist, but the 26-year-old used his off-foot to provide the match’s first goal in the 76th minute. That’s what we call feeding a narrative.
So how will Slot react to the win?
