Trent Alexander-Arnold captain, scores, and is named player of the match as Liverpool defeat Accrington Stanley 4-0 in the FA Cup.
Trent Alexander-Arnold has shared a social media post following an impressive performance as Liverpool advanced in the FA Cup. The 26-year-old captained the Reds, scored a goal, and was named player of the match after their 4-0 victory against Accrington Stanley . Arne Slot's team avoided an upset against the League Two side with goals from Diogo Jota, Jayden Danns, and summer signing Federico Chiesa, while Alexander-Arnold doubled the lead right before halftime.
The full-back struck a powerful shot from distance into the top corner for the goal of the game. Liverpool secured their place in tomorrow's fourth round draw and returned to winning ways after their previous matches against Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur. Alexander-Arnold shared a series of photos in a wordless social media post, his first since his goal in the 5-0 win over West Ham United. Following his display against Manchester United, the England international faced intense criticism for his role in the 2-2 draw. Head coach Slot commented after the win against the League Two side: 'I could talk for hours about that. It was unbelievable. The biggest compliment Trent could get was the reaction of everyone after the Manchester United game. Every player around the world, maybe except for a few, has a bad game and that is completely normal, but the moment Trent has one, everyone has an opinion about it. Maybe that is because of the contract situation. I don't know if that wasn't there if people would have reacted in the same way. You have such a great first half of the season and you don't play a good game against United - and that was clear for me, for you, the fans and the analysts who saw the game - but many of them were quite hard on him. I think it was good for him to play in our own stadium and feel the reception of the fans again. It was also special again today and that can only help him - and us.
