Liverpool fans rage at ‘shocking’ Alexander-Arnold after what he did v Chelsea
Liverpool fans have been left fuming at Trent Alexander-Arnold after his performance in their clash v Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
Arne Slot’s side fell to a 3-1 defeat the week after lifting the Premier League title, with Enzo Fernandez’s third-minute strike putting the Blues ahead at half time.
The second half saw Chelsea limit Liverpool’s attack before finding a second via a Jarell Quansah own-goal, which meant Virgil van Dijk’s late goal was merely a consolation and Cole Palmer rounded off the display with a late penalty.
Despite a poor all-round display from the Reds, leading to accusations of the players being “hungover”, it was Alexander-Arnold who took the most stick.

As a result, fans are claiming they are counting down the days until he joins Real Madrid.
