Trent Alexander-Arnold reached 50 assists for Liverpool on Saturday as the Reds thrashed Arsenal 4-0 at Anfield. The right-back was in fine form and afterwards, Andy Robertson praised him on Instagram.

The defender endured a rough summer. He picked up a thigh injury in an England warm-up game and was then forced to watch from the sidelines as the Three Lions reached the final of Euro 2020.

That injury appears to have been a blessing in disguise for Liverpool though. He has claimed no fewer than nine assists this season and looks to be enjoying his football.

The latest win was vintage Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp will have been delighted with what he saw from his charges.

Alexander-Arnold now has 52 assists in the red of Liverpool and at 23-years-old that really is remarkable.

He has reached the feat in 192 appearances and it really is scary to think how many he could finish on when he looks back on his career.

Alexander-Arnold is Liverpool’s first-choice right-back and if he can sort out his occasional lapses in concentration defensively, he could kick on even further.

What did Robertson say about Liverpool teammate Alexander-Arnold?

The two full-backs are integral to how Klopp likes his Liverpool team to play and both are genuine assets.

Liverpool were missing Robertson at the weekend after he picked up an injury on international duty with Scotland.

He watched on as Kostas Tsimikas produced another eye-catching display but for now, Robertson should get back in the team when he’s fit.

The Scotland captain summed up Alexander-Arnold’s brilliance in three words and clearly, he considers the right-back an elite talent.

Liverpool will have a desire to win titles this season and with the £160,000-a-week defender in this sort of form, you wouldn’t bet against them.
