Real Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham has praised Liverpool right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold on Instagram for his performance against Unai Emery’s Aston Villa at Anfield in the Premier League on Sunday.
Trent Alexander-Arnold was in action for Liverpool against Aston Villa today.
Jurgen Klopp’s side got the better of Villa 3-0 at home.
Alexander-Arnold provided the assist for the first goal.
The 24-year-old England international right-back often moved into midfield and orchestrated proceedings in attack.
The Liverpool stars took two shots, played five key passes, had a pass accuracy of 90.8%, took 94 touches, made two interceptions, and put in two crosses.

And Jude Bellingham was impressed.
The England international midfielder was linked with a move to Liverpool in the summer transfer window before Spanish and European giants Madrid snapped him up.
Bellingham and Alexander-Arnold play together for the England national football team.
Trent Alexander-Arnold is one of the best players in the world, and it is really good to see the Liverpool and England international flourishing in his new role.
While the 24-year-old starts matches at right-back for Liverpool, he is now getting the licence to move into midfield and create chances for the attacking players.
And it is working at the moment.
Of course, Liverpool will face bigger tests than Aston Villa in the coming weeks and months, but it is playing in this role on a regular basis that Alexander-Arnold will become an expert at it.
