Trent Alexander-Arnold has heaped praise on his new Liverpool teammate Darwin Nunez after the Uruguyan delivered a stellar cameo performance once he was introduced off the bench.
The Reds took on long-time title rivals Manchester City in the Community Shield at Leicester City's King Power Stadium in a clash that presented the first chance for the two teams to feel each other out before what many expect to be another thrilling title race between the pair.
It was a hard-fought affair that saw Alexander-Arnold net the opening goal after his right-footed effort deflected off the head of Nathan Ake and beyond the despairing dive of City shot-stopper Ederson. Jurgen Klopp's side were well worthy of their lead, dominating for most of the first half.
