MANCHESTER CITY manager Pep Guardiola described right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold as one of the best midfielders in the world after City suffered a 2-0 defeat at home to Liverpool on Sunday.
Goals from Mohamed Salah and Dominik Szoboszlai gave Liverpool their first league win at Manchester City since November 2015 and took them 11 points clear at the top of the Premier League table.
Alexander-Arnold played a key role in Liverpool’s second goal, steering a long pass over the City defence into Salah’s path before the Egyptian set up Szoboszlai.
