# Trent pokes fun at Robertson after beating him to assists record

Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson have both been hugely influential members of the Jurgen Klopp revolution at Liverpool.

The former has matured from academy hopeful to [one of the best](https://www.fourfourtwo.com/gallery/ranked-10-best-right-backs-world) right-backs in the world, producing endless quality down the right flank.

Meanwhile, Robertson arrived from Hull City in 2017 and has gone on to be considered among the [finest left-backs around](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/andy-robertson-best-left-back-17272272).

The pair have become [assist-making machines](https://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/first-team/353277-watch-free-robertson-alexander-arnold-premier-league-assists) for the Reds, laying on constant goals for teammates and showcasing their superb end product.

Last month, Alexander-Arnold [became](https://twitter.com/Squawka/status/1220685429420122113?s=20) both the first Liverpool player and Premier League defender to register more than 10 assists in multiple top-flight seasons.

During a [Twitter Q&A](https://twitter.com/trentaa98) on Monday, the 21-year-old was asked how many times a day he reminds Robertson of the statistic, producing a brilliant response:

There is a competitiveness between Alexander-Arnold and Robertson that can only be healthy – their [closeness](https://twitter.com/andrewrobertso5/status/1197566229474611200?s=20) off the pitch is also clear to see, as they continue to thrive alongside one another.
