Many suggested that Trent Alexander-Arnold was exceptional against Arsenal. One Liverpool player during their draw with Arsenal on Saturday was out of this world.
The Reds missed the chance to go to the top of the table. This is with Alexander-Arnold hitting the bar in the second-half. This is after being played in by Mohamed Salah.
Trent Alexander-Arnold was out of this world vs Arsenal
A Journalist from BBC went on to say:
“The ball from Alexander-Arnold that sent Mohamed Salah on his way to breaking Michael Owen’s scoring tally was out of this world,” he said.“Sat in the middle of the back four on this occasion, Alexander-Arnold hit a ball a quarterback playing for the Miami Dolphins would have struggled to make.
The Liverpool defender made contact with the ball from well inside his own half and planted it over the head of a stretching Oleksandr Zinchenko and into the path of Salah, leaving the Arsenal full-back furiously backpedalling and exposed. Salah breezed past him and blasted the ball into the roof of the net. It is the best pass I have seen this season.”
It has not always been the easiest time for Trent Alexander-Arnold. Trent has come in for criticism at times. This is especially for what some see as limitations in his defensive capabilities.
But there is a reason that Jurgen Klopp has never lost faith in the academy graduate all this time. Moreover, his quality on the ball is almost unrivalled in the Premier League and in the world.
He has been directly involved in five goals in 16 Premier League games this season. However, that is a very impressive return given the position he plays for the club.
He has now scored against Manchester City and provided an assist against Arsenal and they are one of the best teams in the league. It was also his strike which won the game against Fulham earlier this month for Liverpool.
