Trent Alexander-Arnold was his normal important self during our victory over Brighton and one moment involving Pervis Estupinan showcased a different side of his game.
As our vice captain won the ball from the left back, he was then fouled and quickly attempted to take a free kick as we searched for a route back in the game.
Instead though, the Ecuadorian pretended to kick the ball and slowed down the restart before the Scouser then pushed him out the way.
It led to an altercation between the pair where our No.66 just smiled in the face of his opponent, who really should have been booked.

Trent smiled in Estupinan’s face rather that get himself booked
You could see from the passion of Darwin Nunez, just how much victory meant to the whole squad and that was shared by the supporters in the stadium.
Little moments like this ensured that Anfield was at it’s vocal best and by mixing passion with composure, the Reds got back in the game.
The full time scenes with Arne Slot proved that this felt like a very important win and we executed a perfect second half in order for this to happen.
Let’s hope we can keep this never-say-die attitude in the coming weeks and remain top of the Premier League for as long as possible, with Manchester City and Arsenal hopefully dropping plenty more points too.
