Trent Alexander-Arnold set a new Premier League assist record as he put Liverpool on course for victory over Brentford on Sunday afternoon.
The right-back, 23, found Fabinho's head at the back post after his inswinging corner was allowed to bounce in the penalty area.
The Brazilian made no mistake from point-blank range to nod the Reds in front just before the interval, with Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Takumi Minamino securing the three points in the second half.
Alexander-Arnold's assist was his 10th in the Premier League and 13th in all competitions this season, meaning he leads the top flight and Liverpool in terms of creative output.
The England international has reached double figures for assists in three separate seasons, becoming the first defender in Premier League history to do so.
Is Trent Alexander-Arnold the best right-back in the world? Have your say in the comments!
Alexander-Arnold racked up 13 assists as Liverpool surged to the title in 2019/20 campaign and registered 12 in the previous term.
He is on course to smash his record tally this season, while he has also chipped in with two goals for Jurgen Klopp's side.
Alexander-Arnold appears to be back to his best after a challenging 2020/21 campaign during which he recorded seven assists while Liverpool's title defence collapsed.
Against Brentford, statistics experts Squawka found the defender had the most touches (115), most crosses (12), most ball recoveries (eight), most tackles (four) and most interceptions (three) of any player on the pitch.
His complete display against the Bees dispelled the myth that the defensive side of his game lets down his brilliant attacking contributions from the right flank.
However, rather than draw attention to yet another sublime personal display, Alexander-Arnold paid tribute to young teammate Kaide Gordon after the 17-year-old came off the bench for his Premier League debut.
"The future is bright," he posted on social media alongside a picture embracing Gordon.
Liverpool boss Klopp nodded to Alexander-Arnold's exceptional dead-ball deliveries as he gave his verdict on the match, while he was also delighted with another clean sheet.
"The set pieces were really good today," the German said. "You need patience. You cannot lose focus or get sloppy. You have to stay full of desire even when you don’t find direction.
"We had to switch sides, play it quick and all these kinds of things. We really controlled it in the second half. That’s good.
"They changed [after Liverpool went 1-0 up] and took more risks. They had more players between the lines. We had two situations where we struggled a little bit with it.
"That’s how it is. You have to adapt. That’s what happens. We adapted to that really well and from that moment, controlled it."
