Liverpool came from behind to claim a massive three points on Saturday afternoon, beating Aston Villa 2-1.
The Reds needed a response after losing 3-1 to Real Madrid in midweek, but fell behind to an Ollie Watkins opener.
When a Roberto Firmino leveller was ruled out for offside, fans would have been forgiven for feeling that it wasn’t going to be their day, but Liverpool did equalise through Mohamed Salah.
Liverpool needed a hero late on as they went in search of a winner, and Trent Alexander-Arnold stepped forward to fire a right-footed strike past Emiliano Martinez to win it in injury time.
This was a great reminder from Alexander-Arnold over what he can do, having been through a testing couple of weeks.
The right back was left out of the England squad over the international break, and then struggled against Real in midweek.
Alexander-Arnold needs a strong end to the season to force his way back into the England squad, and Gary Lineker has been full of praise for the Liverpool ace.
Lineker called Alexander-Arnold’s goal ‘brilliant’, believing his attacking play outweighs any defensive issues, and is predicted that England boss Gareth Southgate will ‘see sense’ by recalling Alexander-Arnold soon.
