Liverpool full-back Trent Alexander-Arnold made his debut for England last night,
Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold made his World Cup debut for England against Belgium.
Alexander-Arnold was part of a second string side fielded by manager Gareth Southgate with qualification already assured.
He ended up on the losing team as the Three Lions slipped to a 1-0 defeat to Belgium.
The Liverpool right-back sent a message on Instagram after the game detailing his mixed emotions.
Alexander-Arnold had a mixed game too, involved heavily but his final ball let him down too often.
He was taking corners and too frequently his delivery did not beat the first man.
In comparison to Kieran Trippier’s excellence, it was a clear downgrade, and he needed to do more to win a starting spot for England’s upcoming knockout match with Colombia.
