- Captain has not put pressure on full-back to stay
- Alexander-Arnold’s goal put Reds on verge of title
Virgil van Dijk said he had not put pressure on Trent Alexander-Arnold to stay at Liverpool and that he believed his teammate deserved his moment of glory in Sunday’s 1-0 victory at Leicester. Alexander-Arnold’s winner – the first left-footed goal of 23 in his career – put Liverpool on the verge of a 20th league title.
Van Dijk pushed the 26-year-old, who is expected to leave for Real Madrid this summer, towards the Liverpool supporters after the final whistle and Alexander-Arnold clenched his fists in celebration.
