Gary Neville claims Trent Alexander-Arnold was 'lucky' not to receive a second yellow card after clashing twice with Anthony Gordon during Liverpool's game against Newcastle to cap off nightmare start at St James' Park

Gary Neville has claimed Trent Alexander-Arnold was lucky not to be shown a second yellow card during the opening stages of Liverpool's game against Newcastle.

The English right-back received a yellow in the sixth minute of the match after he was shoved in the back by Anthony Gordon.

Displeased at the challenge, Alexander-Arnold threw the ball away receiving an immediate yellow card from the referee John Brooks.

Play continued, with the 24-year-old running up to the other end of the field to recover the ball from the Magpies, and clashing with the former Everton man once again, putting his arm across Gordon and thumping him to the ground.
