Trent Alexander-Arnold Left Red-Faced After Footage Emerges, Requires Explanation
Trent Alexander-Arnold was criticized for his role in Everton’s second goal against Liverpool. A viral video has highlighted his defensive lapse during the match. Liverpool’s defeat at Goodison Park has severely dampened their chances of winning the Premier League title this season. This was Everton’s first victory over Liverpool at Goodison Park in more than 13 years.
Jarrad Branthwaite and Dominic Calvert-Lewin scored the goals for Everton, securing a crucial win that brings them closer to safety from relegation. Calvert-Lewin’s second-half header, in particular, drew attention to Alexander-Arnold’s defensive performance. Despite Klopp’s claim that the players were aware of the set-piece strategy, Alexander-Arnold appeared to make a weak attempt to challenge Calvert-Lewin, who scored the second goal with a header. Klopp expressed his disappointment, acknowledging that the team could have defended better.
Captain Virgil van Dijk also raised questions about the team’s efforts to win the league. The defeat has put a dent in Liverpool’s title aspirations. For more sports news and updates, visit express.co.uk/sport/football or follow them on social media.
