Speaking on Premier League Productions, the former Liverpool striker was impressed with what he saw from Alexander-Arnold, who could not have wished for a more perfect game to make his long-awaited return to action.

Although Alexander-Arnold is expected to join Real Madrid this summer, few fans will be angry with the defender tonight after today’s performance in the East Midlands, with Liverpool one win away from the Premier League title.

And Owen was pleased with what he saw from Alexander-Arnold this afternoon against Leicester, with the pundit lauding the England international after his match-winning heroics for Liverpool in a critical game.

Owen said: “You couldn’t write it could you?

It’s a great moment for him, and a big step forward for Liverpool towards that trophy.”

Alexander-Arnold was the man of the hour for Liverpool after hitting the winner at the King Power Stadium, with the defender enjoying one of his most poetic moments yet for the Reds.

Yet the fullback was far from the only player to impress for the visitors, with Gary Neville noting Conor Bradley’s performance for Liverpool as the Northern Ireland international once again showed why he could replace Alexander-Arnold next season.

Indeed, Liverpool’s performance against Leicester was far from their best, but the Reds will not be too focused on that with the Premier League title now just one win away with five games of the season left to go.
