'I found it a lot more difficult in midfield' - Alexander-Arnold on Southgate 'experiment' in England rout of Andorra

The Liverpool star admitted he struggled to adapt to a new role during the Three Lions' latest World Cup qualifier

Trent Alexander-Arnold has conceded he "found it a lot more difficult" in midfield during England's rout of Andorra, while revealing the decision to move him from his usual full-back position was an "experiment" from Gareth Southgate.

Alexander-Arnold has spent his entire career as a right-back for Liverpool, making a huge contribution in both defence and attack to help Jurgen Klopp's side win Premier League and Champions League honours.

The 22-year-old has also occupied that spot at international level, but it has been suggested his long-term future could lie further up the pitch and Southgate put that theory to the test in the Three Lions' latest World Cup qualifying fixture.
