LEICESTER, ENGLAND—When Liverpool lifts the English Premier League trophy in May — barring a monumental collapse — the end of a three-decade title drought will owe so much 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 that sent Liverpool 13 points clear. The move that led to the penalty being awarded inevitably came from another of Alexander-Arnold’s crosses which was handled by Leicester defender Caglar Soyuncu. “The big thing that Liverpool have is confidence, having won competitions,” Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers said. “I can write the story myself: ‘Never before in the history of British football has a team had a bigger lead and lost the lead,’” Liverpool manager Juergen Klopp said.
