WHAT NEXT FOR ALEXANDER-ARNOLD?

The goal that gave Liverpool the lead at halftime was neatly tapped in by Van Dijk after the defender’s dangerous cross found him in plenty of space inside the Sheffield United box. Despite having more control and opportunities, the Reds struggled to defeat goalie Wes Foderingham.
