Liverpool supporters were lapping up Trent Alexander-Arnold’s first-half masterclass in an England shirt.
Gareth Southgate gave the Reds man a rare start for the Three Lions Euro 2024 qualifier against Malta. Alexander-Arnold has not always been preferred by the England boss, with public comments comparing him to Kieran Trippier last year angering Liverpool supporters.
However, the 24-year-old’s impressive form toward the back end of the campaign was rewarded with his second England appearance in 12 months. Jurgen Klopp has tinkered with Alexander-Arnold by playing him in an advanced role - a move that must not have gone unnoticed by Southgate.
