Liverpool right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold says his teammates have no reason to face criticism for his strong performances in recent weeks.

“I thought we had performed well, it’s just that we haven’t gotten the results [and] It is a business of results, so there are no excuses for it.
“But I think that when it comes to confidence, we are not playing badly, we are not being beaten.
“We’ve been playing well, but we haven’t gotten the results, so it’s about turning those performances into results and that’s probably what we need to consider the most.”

“I think the first half we never created too many clear chances, but the second half we did, we took a few more shots, we scored and we were in the driver’s seat.
“Then the tables turned and they put the game to bed in a matter of five to ten minutes and that’s football.
