Liverpool star Trent Alexander-Arnold talks about his performance vs Arsenal
Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold put in a solid performance against Arsenal on Sunday at Anfield, as the two sides played out a thrilling 2-2 draw. Alexander-Arnold was a key figure for the Reds, both in attack and defence, and he spoke highly of the Gunners’ attacking threat after the match.
In the early stages of the game, Alexander-Arnold showed his attacking prowess by getting forward on the right flank and delivering dangerous crosses into the Arsenal box. Even though the best of his defensive abilities weren’t on show, his late cross to draw things level balanced it out.
Despite Arsenal’s attacking prowess, Liverpool managed to stay in the game and put pressure on the visitors in the second half. The 24-year-old Englishman was once again instrumental in the Reds’ attacking play, constantly getting forward and looking to create chances for his teammates.
Here is what Trent had to say about his performance via the club’s official website:
“The goals have to come on one of the sides or through the middle, so that’s the way football works. You’re against a quality player, Martinelli, and their attacking line is quality all over – like the team, who are full of quality. They’re bound to be threats and they’ve got the goal.”
“But we stayed in the game and we tried to put pressure on, especially late on in the second half. We missed a pen as well – I forgot about that, that was a big moment – but we stayed in it and got it late. It’s just the fight that we have really.”
Trent in the midfield, a new shift?
Overall, it was a solid performance from Alexander-Arnold, who showed his versatility by being effective in attack and defence. His ability to deal with Arsenal’s attacking threat was particularly impressive, and he was a key figure in Liverpool’s comeback.
Trent played a significant part of the game in midfield as well, which was refreshing to see. Transitioning to the impact of Alexander-Arnold’s performance on the Reds, it is clear that his contributions were crucial in securing a point for the team.
His deliveries from the right flank were a constant source of danger, and his defensive work was equally important in preventing Arsenal from scoring more goals which could have caused the Reds much more difficulty.
Moving forward, Liverpool will be hoping that Alexander-Arnold can continue to perform at a high level, as they look to climb up the Premier League table. With his ability to both defend and attack, he will be a key player for the Reds in the coming matches as we look to finish among the top-four.
