The three words Trent Alexander-Arnold shouted at Van Dijk immediately after Liverpool equaliser

Date: 2024-10-27

Virgil van Dijk delivered a true captain’s performance in the first half-hour of action at the Emirates Stadium with the help of Trent Alexander-Arnold.

The Dutch international was on hand to level proceedings after the fullback fizzed in a dangerous ball from the corner.

The Merseysiders could stand to open up a seven point-gap to their title rivals in third place should they secure maximum points against Arsenal.

As such, this has turned into a must-win game for Mikel Arteta’s men as they look to win an early psychological battle against Arne Slot’s in-form outfit.

You can forgive the Reds’ vice-skipper for being more than a little jubilant at his involvement in Liverpool’s equalising goal.

Footage shared online by Sky Sports appears to show the Academy graduate screaming ‘my centre-back’ during the on-pitch celebrations with his teammates.

What do the stats say about Trent Alexander-Arnold’s performance?

It hasn’t been the most special of first-half performances from Liverpool’s travelling men, truth be told.

The Merseysiders have been, for the most part, outmuscled, outfought and outclassed at the Emirates ahead of the half-time break.

Trent Alexander-Arnold, of course, had a key part to play in Virgil van Dijk’s equaliser but it’s otherwise not been the most inspiring of 45 minutes from the No.66.

Sofascore handed the Real Madrid-linked defender a 6.5/10 rating for his contributions in North London.

The 26-year-old didn’t win a single aerial duel (out of two contested), though he did register two key passes during the contest.
