Jurgen Klopp came into Sunday\u2019s Premier League meeting with Fulham demanding that his Liverpool side make sure Anfield is a \u201cnightmare\u201d for visiting teams.<\/strong><\/p>\n Marco Silva may very well wake up in a cold sweat after his team\u2019s 4-3 loss but it was hardly a\u00a0performance\u00a0that Liverpool\u2019s manager would have dreamed of.<\/p>\n For the second weekend in a row, Trent Alexander-Arnold forced Liverpool\u2019s first goal of the afternoon with a crisp strike. While his drilled effort into the bottom corner\u00a0against\u00a0Manchester City came at the end of a fluid move from open play, the defender broke the deadlock at Anfield with a brilliant free kick.<\/p>\n Before placing a finger to his lips in celebration, Alexander-Arnold\u2019s face betrayed the satisfaction he earned from a sensational set piece.<\/p>\n Same, Trent, same pic.twitter.com\/sk4sFpX0Zp<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 The Redmen TV (@TheRedmenTV) December 3, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Trent in Adidas boots might challenge for the Golden Boot.<\/p>\n \u2014 Sam McGuire (@SamMcGuire90) December 3, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n What Alexander-Arnold didn\u2019t realise at the time was that his first strike of the afternoon would go down as a Bernd Leno own goal after the ball skidded off the crossbar and on to the goalkeeper before hitting the back of the net.<\/p>\n Apparently Trent\u2019s free kick may be officially recorded as an own goal for Leno, with the ball bouncing off his back before entering the net.<\/p>\n Nonsense, that\u2019s Trent\u2019s goal ALL DAY LONG #LFC<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Empire of the Kop (@empireofthekop) December 3, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Apparently Trent\u2019s free kick may be officially recorded as an own goal for Leno, with the ball bouncing off his back before entering the net.<\/p>\n Nonsense, that\u2019s Trent\u2019s goal ALL DAY LONG #LFC<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Empire of the Kop (@empireofthekop) December 3, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Apparently Trent\u2019s free kick may be officially recorded as an own goal for Leno, with the ball bouncing off his back before entering the net.<\/p>\n Nonsense, that\u2019s Trent\u2019s goal ALL DAY LONG #LFC<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Empire of the Kop (@empireofthekop) December 3, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Barely five first-half minutes had elapsed before Alexander-Arnold\u2019s former teammate Harry Wilson swiftly hauled Fulham level with a poked finish utterly against the run of play.<\/p>\n Might be the kick up the backside we need. Was almost too easy in opening exchanges. #LFC<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Grizz Khan (@GrizzKhan) December 3, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Alexis Mac Allister fired Liverpool back into the lead with a goal that immediately superseded Alexander-Arnold\u2019s beauty.
