Alexander-Arnold reveals he was a ball boy at Anfield for Gerrard’s infamous slip

Five years on the Liverpool defender is hoping to exact some revenge for the Reds’ former skipper when Chelsea travel to Anfield on Sunday

Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold has revealed he was a ball boy at Anfield during the Reds’ infamous 2-0 to defeat against Chelsea in 2014.

That game is often remembered for Steven Gerrard’s slip which allowed Demba Ba to score, and was the turning point in the game.

The defeat also somewhat derailed Liverpool’s title challenge and Brendan Rodgers’ side ultimately finished second, two points behind Manchester City.
