It was another Liverpool win they could attribute to Trent Alexander-Arnold. Not that it was determined by one of his curling crosses or pinpoint passes; not, indeed, that he was in the country at the time, let alone on the Anfield pitch. But Alexander-Arnold’s move to Real Madrid created opportunities for others.
Dominik Szoboszlai was scarcely expected to be among them. Certainly not at right-back when Jeremie Frimpong joined. But there was also something incongruous about the sight of the Hungary captain stood alone over a free kick. It would have been Alexander-Arnold’s in the past.
