Ex-Liverpool fullback​ Warnock: Leicester win was huge for Alexander-Arnold

Former Liverpool defender Stephen Warnock believes that Trent Alexander-Arnold enjoyed a crucial game against Leicester City earlier this season.

The Reds had a tough game against the Foxes, who were one of their only title challengers at the time.

But Alexander-Arnold was among those who lifted his game so the Reds won 4-0 to tighten their trip on the title race.

Speaking to the club's website, Warnock said about that game and Alexander-Arnold: "I thought Liverpool just dominated the game. It was one of those games where everyone was looking at it as a potential banana skin, going to Leicester, a difficult game.

"But Trent in that game especially was just unplayable, everything he did was incredible.

"When he stepped onto that ball [for his goal] I'm thinking, 'Take a touch, take it further into the box.' But such was his confidence and the way he was, the strike was just magnificent.

"It sort of showed how far he has come as a player as well; it wasn't just a moment for Liverpool, it was a moment for Trent as well. For everyone to sit up and realise how much quality he actually possesses.

"That was another moment in the season where everyone looked, they had gone to Leicester and destroyed them. Leicester were second in the league at the time and everyone thought if Leicester were to win the game or draw, it would draw people back in.

"It was the best display of the season, for me."
