Here’s the report from Andy Hunter at Anfield, which means our live blog coverage for the day concludes there.

A day when the champions maintained their 15-point gap to second place, with Arsenal still requiring more points to cement second spot and Champions League qualification.

Andy Robertson is now chatting to Sky Sports:

We scored two really good goals and dominated. But we came out second half miles off it and they caused us some problems, we lost our aggression in the press. I was probably just offside [at the end] so it wasn’t meant to be. I’m delighted to get that [assist], I’ve been sat on 59 for ages, so glad to get to 60.

On the booing of Alexander-Arnold:

We’ve always been delighted with each other for assists. He came up to me with a smile at half-time.

There’s a lot of emotion around it and it’s crucial in these moments that I don’t tell you how to feel. I’m disappointed to lose my best mate and he’s an amazing player and person. He’s took me to levels I never knew existed. And he’s made a choice, so his legacy at this club is there for everyone to see. It’s not been an easy decision for Trent and it’s not nice to see a friend get booed, but I can’t tell people how to feel.
