CHRIS SUTTON: Trent Alexander-Arnold got it all wrong for two of Arsenal's goals at the Emirates

Trent Alexander-Arnold knows every time Liverpool concede, there will be critics looking at his involvement and that’s fair enough.

If you cannot be ultra-critical when analysing a potential England player at a World Cup then when can you?

For Gabriel Martinelli’s opening goal, Alexander-Arnold’s body shape was all wrong and he was done on the inside.

Trent Alexander-Arnold was a key component of both Arsenal's first-half goals in their 3-2 win

It was a great pass by Martin Odegaard but then any right back should know the movement Martinelli will make and try to stop that. He didn’t.

For Bukayo Saka’s goal, Alexander-Arnold bizarrely vacated his area by going across to close down Martinelli, despite Jordan Henderson having him covered.
