An off-the-cuff thought process led to Trent Alexander-Arnold's brilliant opening goal in Liverpool's 2-1 victory at Chelsea on Sunday.
With 14 minutes gone at Stamford Bridge, the Reds right-back stepped onto a Mohamed Salah set-up from a set-piece at the edge of the box and powerfully swiped it into the top right corner.
The effort, which laid the foundation for his side’s 15th consecutive Premier League win, came out of a brief conversation between Alexander-Arnold, Salah and Jordan Henderson.
“Hendo wanted it at first and then I think he thought it was a bit too close for him,” Alexander-Arnold told Sky Sports after the final whistle in London.
