Slot Hails Alexander-Arnold’s performance in Accrington win
Alexander-Arnold delivered a strong performance against Accrington Stanley. The highlight of the English player's match was a stunning long-range strike that left the Accrington goalkeeper helpless and extended the lead to 2-0 just before half-time.
It was a memorable moment for Alexander-Arnold, who captained Liverpool on the day. After the match, manager Arne Slot spoke about Alexander-Arnold, who was named Man of the Match.
"He didn't have the best game against Manchester United and everyone jumped on him. But for the rest of the season he has played really well. I liked his performance and what he did when he came on against Tottenham and also today."
Arne Slot also praised 16-year-old Liverpool youngster Rio Ngumoha: "He did well. There were moments where the fans could see why we think he is a talent. He is good in one-on-one situations and can turn very quickly.
It's great that he made his debut and got the win. He had a couple of good actions and got the crowd going. It was a great and special day for him."
The Dutch tactician added about the game: "Credit to Accrington. They stuck to their game today. They weren't scared, pressed high and weren't afraid of one-on-ones. In the end, the difference in quality made a big difference for us."
