Former Tottenham Hotspur striker turned popular football pundit Gary Lineker has showered praise on Liverpool right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold after the Reds won 3-1 against Spurs in the Premier League on Thursday night.

Alexander-Arnold, who is on £40k-per-week wages at Liverpool, scored one and provided an assist for Sadio Mane, as the Reds picked up all three points.

The 22-year-old defender was struggling badly with form this season after returning from a calf injury. However, he was simply superb on the night against Spurs, and Lineker has hailed him as a ‘class act’.

Every player has a dip in form, but the best players always bounce back. @TrentAA has done exactly that. Class act.
