Liverpool's flying full-backs Alexander-Arnold and Robertson make Premier League assist history

Liverpool full-back duo Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson have made Premier League assist history, and both could make more in short order.

It was Alexander-Arnold whose presence was heavily felt in the early going in Liverpool’s Premier League clash with Newcastle.

With the Reds needing a win to keep the pressure on Manchester City in the title race, Alexander-Arnold picked up an early assist when his corner kick found the head of an unmarked Virgil van Dijk to give Liverpool a 1-0 advantage 13 minutes in.

That moment secured a bit of history for the full-back pair as it brought Alexander-Arnold to 10 assists on the campaign, while Robertson sits on 11 after his two assist performance last week against Huddersfield.
