Don Hutchison says Trent Alexander-Arnold’s cross and assist for Darwin Nunez during Liverpool’s 2-2 draw against Wolves in the FA Cup on Saturday is ‘one of the hardest skills in football’, as he posted on Twitter.
Running into Wolves’ half, Alexander-Arnold leant back like David Beckham in his prime and whipped in a delightful cross that landed into the path of Darwin Nunez, who at the time, had levelled the scores for Liverpool.
Whilst a lot has been made of the big chances Nunez is missing, the Liverpool summer signing was able to pass the ball into the back of the net with ease, this time around.
Whilst for TAA, it was another moment of magic and proof that, going forward, he is perhaps the best full-back in the world.
Those defensive questions are still there, and will continue to hover over him until Jurgen Klopp is able to sort out his struggling midfield.
But, for now, Hutchison appreciated the magic the 24-year-old provided once again with his right foot and how it is ‘world-class’.
ALEXANDER-ARNOLD TO NUNEZ
When Nunez signed for Liverpool, one of the first players to contact him was Alexander-Arnold with the words ‘how may I assist you?’.
Well, Liverpool fans will be hoping this is the first of a long-term partnership that could brew on Merseyside.
Given Nunez’s ariel ability and all-action chaos in the final third, then surely more of Goal: Nunez and Assist: Alexander-Arnold will be spelt out during these coming years.
