Liverpool matchwinner Alexander-Arnold: Winning like that was big

Liverpool star Trent Alexander-Arnold was delighted with his contribution to the team's latest win.

The Reds emerged victorious after a pulsating encounter against Fulham at Anfield on Sunday.

Having been in control for long periods, the Reds found themselves 3-2 down, only to quickly emerge with a 4-3 lead.

On the win, match-winner Alexander-Arnold stated: “I don't know if I could sum it up in one word. [I'm] just delighted really. It's big. We needed the three points obviously. With Arsenal getting the result yesterday, we just needed to try to stay in touching distance. This time of year is important, the games come thick and fast and if you can pick up momentum and get through the Christmas [and] January period with a lot of wins then you come out and go into February and March in a good position, so this isn't the right time to be dropping any points, especially at home. It was a very proud moment for me and a good finish as well, to be fair."

He added on competing with Dominik Szoboszlai for free-kicks: “In fairness, he knows that's my preferred side. I prefer going that side and using the wall as a guide to get round, but it was a little bit outside the goal frame. It was just get it on target, see what I can do and that's what I did. I've been told it's been chalked off as an own goal now so I'm a bit gutted. It was a good strike of the ball and good to be involved in the goal in any way I can."
