Trent Alexander-Arnold hailed for a coming-of-age performance against Manchester City as Rio Ferdinand lavishes praise on Liverpool defender: 'He was fantastic in everything he did'

Trent Alexander-Arnold has been praised for his coming-of-age performance during Liverpool's victory over Manchester City.

Jurgen Klopp's men have one foot in the Champions League semi finals after a resounding 3-0 win at Anfield against their Premier League rivals, with an impressive rearguard action ensuring City left without an away goal.

Key to their success at the back was the performance of Alexander-Arnold at right back, who was targeted early on by Pep Guardiola's side.

They tried to get in-form Leroy Sane one-on-one with the teenager as often as possible, but the German enjoyed little success against the determined youngster.
