Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp says Alexander-Arnold has nothing to prove

Liverpool matchwinner Trent Alexander-Arnold does not have to "prove anything", said boss Jurgen Klopp who wanted to focus on their "massive" 2-1 win over Aston Villa.

Alexander-Arnold, left out of the recent England squad, scored in the last minute as the Reds ended a six-game losing run at Anfield.

"It was massive, it felt massive to win. A real relief," said Klopp.

"We needed that win today, these three points feel big."

Ollie Watkins gave Villa the lead, before Mohamed Salah equalised with Liverpool's first goal in open play at Anfield in 2021 - and Alexander-Arnold curled home from 20 yards in the final minute.
