Liverpool fullback Trent Alexander-Arnold has explained the thought process behind his incredible crosses.

The 22-year-old registered his 12th assist of the season in Monday's win over West Ham United when he set-up Sadio Mane to tap home the winner.

Asked whether he seeks out a teammate with his crosses or tries to find dangerous areas, Alexander-Arnold told Sky Sports: "A bit of both.

"I think sometimes when you get the ball and you're thinking about crossing it then you have to look in and see if anyone's in the box and see where the runs are going to be made, and then it's about hitting areas really, saying to the attackers: 'Go and attack it.'

"That's what I tried to do today, I tried to put balls into the box and when you're getting space out wide and you've got a little bit of time it's always good to get the ball out of your feet and try to cross it, but I'm doing whatever I can to help the team and that's how we all think."
