Fulham manager Marco Silva was impressed by ‘outstanding’ 25-year-old Liverpool youngster today.
Following today’s game at Craven Cottage, Fulham manager Marco Silva praised one Liverpool player in particular. Jurgen Klopp’s side returned to winning ways in the Premier League on Sunday with a convincing 3-1 victory against Fulham.
Liverpool is now equal on points with league leaders Arsenal, with Manchester City having a game in hand on both teams. Trent Alexander-Arnold opened the score in west London with a fantastic free kick following a promising start to the game. Despite a strong first half effort, Timothy Castagne tied the game on the stroke of halftime due to some careless defending by the Reds. However, Klopp’s side turned on the style once more after the break. Ryan Gravenberch scored with a fantastic long-range shot after an uninspiring first 45 minutes for the Dutchman. Diogo Jota scored Liverpool’s third goal with a beautiful finish in the 72nd minute. Marco Silva was keen to congratulate one Liverpool player after a remarkable moment in today’s.
What Silva stated regarding Trent Alexander-Arnold’s free kick Speaking to the Premier League’s official website, Silva conceded that Alexander-Arnold had a standout moment in the first half. “Good first half, but not at the best level,” the Fulham manager said. “Balanced first half, Liverpool scored an excellent free-kick but our reaction was good and it would not have been fair to get to half-time losing the game because we had some very good moments.
“After the second goal, we were unable to produce as many opportunities, and the second half was poor.”
Trent’s comeback might be important for Liverpool.
Alexander-Arnold scored an outstanding goal today to welcome his return to Liverpool’s Premier League squad after a lengthy absence. The 25-year-old sustained a knee injury earlier this year, and his creativity has been a significant loss for Klopp’s team. Alexander-Arnold began in a 1-0 win over Atalanta on Thursday evening after playing 42 minutes against Crystal Palace the previous weekend.
With Liverpool aiming for a Premier League title, having the defense back in the squad is a significant boost. While he is yet to return to full strength after seven weeks on the sidelines, his passing caught the eye at Craven Cottage.
