Trent Alexander-Arnold wowed fans with a skill move against Fulham
He was able to spin away from Fulham star Joao Palhinha
Drawing comparisons to Zinedine Zidane
As an inverted full-back, Alexander-Arnold has had more freedom going forward and less responsibility defending.
And it appears as if the shackles have been taken off with his recent performances.
He wowed fans again with a fantastic bit of skill during the 1-0 win over Fulham at Anfield last night.
The defender pirouetted with the ball during the first half of the game and left Joao Palhinha chasing his shadow.
Supporters were impressed with the move as they compared him to the retired French star.
One tweeted: “Trent, are you Zidane in disguise? That was beautiful.”
A second wrote: “Trent pulling some Zidane pirouettes in midfield. What a player.”
A third commented: “Zidane: ‘I used to skip school just to watch Trent Alexander-Arnold play football.'”
A fourth argued: “That 360 turn from Trent should be counted as his assist this game.”
While a fifth said: “What a 360 turn from Trent despite him being marked. Goodness me that was absolutely beautiful oh my daaaaaaaaays!”
Liverpool won the game thanks to a controversial Mohamed Salah penalty.
The result puts them four points behind Champions League rivals Manchester United, although they have played two more games than the fourth-placed side.
