Liverpool put one hand on the Premier League title with a 2-0 win at Manchester City on Sunday.

Goals from Mohamed Salah and Dominik Szoboszlai moved Liverpool 11 points clear of Arsenal in the Premier League title race with 12 games to go – leaving the Gunners with a mountain to climb.

Naturally, there were many smiles within the Liverpool camp after the final whistle at the Etihad Stadium, although Arne Slot was left upset with Trent Alexander-Arnold just before in the 89th minute.

Arne Slot spotted screaming at Trent Alexander-Arnold

In the second half, the Liverpool No.66 was operating right in front of the Dutchman on the touchline, leaving him with no place to hide in the event of a mistake.

Lewis Steele of the Daily Mail – who was present inside the Etihad Stadium – has now revealed that the England international received a telling off from Slot just before stoppage time, after the defender was seen jogging back into position rather than sprinting.

Alexander-Arnold was then replaced by Jarell Quansah in the 92nd minute.

Of course, the 26-year-old was surely tired after being tormented by Jeremy Doku for most of his 92 minutes on the pitch, but Slot clearly has lofty standards for his players.

Slot already called out Alexander-Arnold after the recent 2-2 draw against Manchester United for not working hard enough, so there is previous in this respect.

Why Jeremy Doku vs Trent Alexander-Arnold should worry Liverpool fans

Slot may consider dropping Alexander-Arnold, who is expected to join Real Madrid this summer, for the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 clash against PSG after seeing how he fared against Doku.

The Parisians boast a number of impressive dribblers, such as Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Bradley Barcola, Ousmane Dembele and Desire Doue – all of whom may be hoping to play on the left wing after seeing how easily Liverpool’s No.66 was breached on Sunday.

However, Alexander-Arnold is an otherworldly talent going the other way, one who is capable of winning games on his own with quick thinking and his remarkable technical ability, which leaves Slot with a selection headache, although his decision will be a lot less tricky if Conor Bradley fails to recover in time.
