Trent Alexander-Arnold is DROPPED by Xabi Alonso for Real Madrid's second LaLiga match - as fans claim he has learned 'brutal lesson' after tricky debut

Trent Alexander-Arnold was brutally dropped from the starting lineup for Real Madrid's victory away to Real Oviedo on Sunday.

Alexander-Arnold joined Real from Liverpool in the summer and featured for the Spanish side at the Club World Cup.

However, he endured a difficult LaLiga debut with an unconvincing performance in the win at home to Osasuna.

Dani Carvajal started at right-back against Oviedo, with Alexander-Arnold replacing him in the 87th minute.

Alexander-Arnold will hope to be back in the starting lineup when Real host Mallorca next weekend.
