Trent Alexander-Arnold played his part in yet another Liverpool victory on Wednesday night, as Jurgen Klopp’s men won 2-0 away to West Ham.
It means the Reds now have a 19-point lead over Manchester City, with just 14 Premier League games remaining this season.
Eight more victories will guarantee a first league title since 1990.
Although Alexander-Arnold, in my opinion, played well on the whole, one moment almost led to disaster at the London Stadium.
With Liverpool 2-0 up and cruising, the youngster side-footed a clearance against his own post, before the ball was eventually cleared to safety.
It brought back memories of Donald Love’s own goal for Shrewsbury Town last weekend, in the Reds’ 2-2 draw in the FA Cup fourth round.
After the game, Alexander-Arnold posted on Twitter to speak of his happiness about another win:

These Liverpool supporters were more interested in poking fun at the right-back’s expense, however, having so nearly scored a comical own goal.
