Trent Alexander-Arnold’s best Liverpool assists

There are many who say Trent Alexander-Arnold’s positioning is erratic and that he can’t defend in one-vs-one situations. But there’s plenty more wanting to wax lyrical about his ability with the ball at his feet, and it’s easy to see why.

Liverpool’s rout began with a divine Alexander-Arnold pass in behind the Atalanta defence which Jota latched onto after escaping his marker’s clutches.

This was a rare driven assist from the full-back, who immediately highlighted why La Dea couldn’t afford to give him any time or space in their half.

This may well have been Trent’s best performance as a professional to date. Leicester away was a tricky trip back in December 2019, and the Foxes headed into this fixture second in the league behind only Klopp’s rampant Reds.

Liverpool were dominant at the King Power, with their majestic right-back at the heart of pretty much everything. Either of his assists could’ve made this top ten, but we’ve opted for his pinpoint driven cross through a sea of blue…
