Trent Alexander-Arnold scored a screamer at Chelsea last weekend, helping Liverpool pick up a priceless 2-1 win in west London.
It seems as though some Blues supporters have tried to forget about the youngster’s brilliance already.
Following Reece James’ goal in the 7-1 mauling of Grimsby Town on Wednesday night, the young right-back has been showered with praise.
Bizarrely, one Chelsea-related account on Twitter decided to mock Alexander-Arnold in the process, essentially claiming James was the superior player.
These Liverpool fans have mocked it, instantly reminding their rivals about what happened last Sunday.

It is an extremely odd time to produce such a tweet, when Alexander-Arnold has literally just played a big part in your own team being beaten.
It also sums up the tribal nature of modern football, with supporters from each club constantly trying to outdo one another.
It would actually be nice if Alexander-Arnold and James were both appreciated for the excellent young English players that they are.
At this moment, there is no comparison, given the former’s rise over the past two years, but that’s not to say the latter doesn’t have a huge future, too.
