Trent is engaged, thoughtfully mapping his answers and there is already an intensity about him that could be felt in similar settings with Steven Gerrard. Not many players would risk it, and though it wasn't a huge risk, it was still the smart move and paid off big time. The rest of Liverpool's players in the dressing-room or doing interviews, so Trent Alexander-Arnold enjoys a lap of honour on his own. Not even Divock Origi until the ball was already on its way.

And after seemed to have killed off Liverpool with a brilliant free-kick to last week, tonight it was a local Merseyside lad who cornered the praise for deadball expertise. I absolutely love going home to them and just being Trent. As long as he defends like a kid and attacks like a man, then you have only half of this amazing talent. I thought 'this is where we deserve to be as a club' and I was convinced that there was only going to be a climb up, that we'd get better and come back more solid.
