Leicester Relegated After Liverpool Defeat, Title Nears for Reds

Leicester City have been relegated from the Premier League after a 1-0 defeat to Liverpool, marking their second demotion in three seasons and ending their brief return to the top flight. Trent Alexander-Arnold scored the decisive goal in the 76th minute, sealing Leicester's 23rd league defeat of the season and extending their record-breaking home scoring drought. The club's struggles were compounded by poor recruitment, frequent managerial changes, and a disastrous home record, including eight consecutive home losses without scoring. Manager Ruud van Nistelrooy, who replaced Steve Cooper mid-season, failed to reverse the team's fortunes, winning just two of his 20 league games in charge. Meanwhile, Liverpool are now just one win away from clinching the Premier League title, though Arsenal's victory over Ipswich delayed their coronation. The result leaves Leicester facing an uncertain future in the Championship, with player pay cuts and further changes expected.
