It was yet another moment for Alex Inglethorpe and his staff to savour.
There was Trent Alexander-Arnold, Liverpool's home-grown hero, shining on the international stage for England at Wembley. A first senior goal for his country, and a man-of-the-match award to boot.
Only a friendly? Not to the young Scouse star, nor to those who have helped make him.
For Liverpool's Academy, Alexander-Arnold's meteoric rise is a source of immense pride, not to mention inspiration, for those seeking to follow in the 20-year-old's footsteps.
In the past 18 months alone, the West Derby-born full-back has established himself as an Anfield first teamer, scored for club and country, played in a Champions League final and at a World Cup.
