Trent Alexander-Arnold’s former Liverpool teammate Jordan Henderson and current England colleague Jude Bellingham reacted to the former's latest Premier League performance.

The 25-year-old full-back managed to score a late goal in a thrilling 4-3 victory for the Reds against Fulham at Anfield on Sunday (December 3). Alexander-Arnold helped Liverpool open the scoring after his stunning free-kick hit the crossbar and went into the goal, deflecting off goalkeeper Bernd Leno's back (20').

After Harry Wilson's 24th-minute equalizer, Argentine midfielder Alexis Mac Allister put the Merseysiders back in front with a sublime long-range effort. Defender Kenny Tete then equalized for the visiting side just seconds before the half-time whistle.

With the game level at 2-2, Fulham nudged ahead through Bobby De Cordova-Reid's 80th-minute header. However, Wataru Endo equalized in the 87th before Alexander-Arnold put his side ahead just a few seconds later, scoring with a sweet volley from the edge of the box.

The defender's late winner comes only a week after he managed a stunning 80th-minute equalizer to help his team secure a 1-1 draw against Manchester City (November 25).

On the night, Alexander-Arnold managed an 81% passing accuracy and attempted two shots, out of which one struck the woodwork. He also recorded 10 recoveries and created two goal-scoring chances. Taking to Instagram after the match, the player posted a series of images from the night.

Reacting to the post, Henderson, who shared the pitch 218 times with Alexander-Arnold and managed two joint goal contributions, commented a crown emoji:
