Gary Lineker has shared a two-word verdict on what Trent Alexander-Arnold did to Heung-min Son in Liverpool’s 2-1 win over Tottenham yesterday.
The England international cheekily nutmegged Heung-min Son by the dugout in the first-half, with Liverpool leading 1-0.
The South Korean got his revenge shortly after when he scored the equaliser, although his effort was ultimately in vain as Roberto Firmino netted a late winner.
You can see what Lineker thought of Alexander-Arnold’s nutmeg below.
The BBC Match of the Day host is clearly impressed by the piece of skill, which completely sold Son.
The Tottenham No.7 didn’t even attempt to chase Liverpool’s No.66, looking utterly resigned to the fact he’d just been ‘megged’ by the right-back.
Alexander-Arnold’s deft nutmeg wasn’t the only good thing he did against Jose Mourinho’s men.
As WhoScored shows, the 22-year-old – who earns £40,000-a-week – had one shot and made two key passes against the north Londoners.
The Liverpool academy graduate also completed one dribble, while completing one tackle and one clearance as well.
However, we’re almost certain that his nutmeg will be spoken about more than his overall display, regardless of those statistics.
His efforts, in what was a very cagey affair at times, helped Jurgen Klopp’s men restore their position at the top of the Premier League.
