Jurgen Klopp has launched a defence of Trent Alexander-Arnold after the Liverpool right-back’s performance against Tottenham drew some harsh criticism.
Liverpool picked up their first away win of the Premier League season in north London on Sunday evening after Mohamed Salah’s goals secured a 2-1 win over Spurs. Salah’s double sent them into the break with a comfortable lead before Harry Kane halved the deficit with a smart finish.
Tottenham pushed hard for an equaliser, and struck the woodwork twice through Ivan Perisic, but could not break through for a second time. Alexander-Arnold was involved in a lot of the action up against the lively Perisic and survived a strong claim for a penalty after a shoulder barge on Ryan Sessegnon.
