'Right on the money': Trent Alexander-Arnold is hailed as the 'PASS MASTER' by Jamie Carragher after Liverpool right back lofted a sumptuous ball over the Benfica defence to help set up Reds' second goal

Trent Alexander-Arnold has been praised for a sumptuous ball in the build-up to Liverpool's second goal in their Champions League quarter-final first leg victory at Benfica last night, with Jamie Carragher hailing him as 'the pass master'.

The Reds put one foot in the final four round of the competition after their 3-1 victory at the Estadio Da Luz, with Ibrahima Konate, Sadio Mane and Luis Diaz all netting in Portugal - although it was Alexander-Arnold who also stole the spotlight.

With 33 minutes on the clock, the eagle-eyed full back picked up the ball down the right flank and, after a brief glance up, clipped an inch-perfect ball over the top of the home side's backline for Diaz to meet, allowing him to tee up Mane.
