Gary Neville has praised both Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold for their honesty in the post-match interviews that followed Liverpool's 2-1 win at home to Leicester City.
The Reds were dealt an early blow when Kieran Dewsbury-Hall broke free to score inside four minutes, before two Wout Faes own-goals inside eight minutes turned the score on its head going into half-time. Jurgen Klopp's side remain some way off their scintillating best, but managed to scrap through the second 45 minutes to close the gap on the top-four to just two points.
Trent Alexander-Arnold has one of his best defensive games in recent memory, swinging in the cross that Faes flicked into his own net for the equaliser, but it was his defensive work that caught Neville's eye. The 24-year-old has often been criticised for his poor positional play, but an evening spent managing the ever-dangerous Harvey Barnes earned him the Man of the Match and plenty of post-match praise.
