Trent Alexander-Arnold's place in the England team has long been a thorny subject for both the Liverpool man and Gareth Southgate, but his second half display against San Marino won over ITV pundit Lee Dixon on a night to remember for the Three Lions.
The emphatic 10-0 triumph over San Marino on Monday night stylishly clinched England's place at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
Alexander-Arnold was handed a rare start for England - just his 16th cap - and at first struggled to impress in Dixon's eyes.
The Liverpool right-back, a Champions League and Premier League winner, has long struggled to replicate his flamboyant Anfield form in an England shirt - a cause for scrutiny on Southgate as well as the 23-year-old himself.
