Trent Alexander-Arnold’s defensive abilities has often been questioned but his standout performance against Brighton has proven his critics wrong.
At Anfield at the weekend, he effectively neutralised Kaoru Mitoma, restricting the winger to only three successful dribbles out of eight attempts.
Trent also dominated his defensive duties, completing eight of nine tackles and forcing Pervis Estupinan to commit eight fouls.
Despite a dip in his usual passing accuracy, he remained instrumental in Liverpool’s attack by making more forward passes than any other player.
