Liverpool youngster helped club to a key win over Hoffenheim.

Liverpool have one foot in the Champions League group stages after beating Hoffenheim away from home in their qualifying match first leg.

The Reds survived conceding an early penalty to record a 2-1 win.

The game will be remembered mainly due to a special free-kick scored by 18-year-old right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold to open the scoring.

The teenager curled in a strike in the 35th minute to set his team on their way to victory.

They added a second through a Havard Nordtveit own goal before Hoffenheim scored a consolation, but the two away goals put Jurgen Klopp’s side in a strong position.

Alexander-Arnold sent a message to Liverpool fans on Twitter after the game, commenting that the moment was a ‘dream come true’.

Alexander-Arnold is deputising for the injured Nathaniel Clyne, and threatens to give the England international a real fight for his place in the first team when he is fit.

The teenager appears to be the future of the position for the Reds, but he might quickly be becoming the present too.
