Liverpool fullback Trent Alexander-Arnold has explained his thinking before a brilliant free-kick goal against Chelsea.

Mohamed Salah rolled the ball on the edge of the box for the 21-year-old to spear home a pinpoint strike past Kepa Arrizabalaga.

"Hendo wanted it at first and then I think he thought it was a bit too close for him," Alexander-Arnold told Sky Sports after the final whistle in London.

"I discussed with Mo that I wanted it rolled to make the angle a little bit better and maybe confuse the 'keeper a little bit, and I've been able to put it away.

"I thought it was too close to go over the wall, I didn't know if the wall was going to jump so I couldn't go under it, I had to go 'keeper's side.

"It was a good roll and I just tried to put it as hard as I can that side with a bit of placement."
