Trent Alexander-Arnold was Liverpool's standout player on Tuesday night as Jurgen Klopp's side took a huge step towards the Champions League group stages with a 2-1 win in Germany.

The 18-year-old scored a 35th-minute free-kick to give Liverpool the lead before James Milner doubled their lead to give Klopp's men a crucial first leg lead in their Champions League play-off tie with Hoffenheim

The right back is being given an unlikely run in the first team due to Nathaniel Clyne's injury lay-off.

And Arnold-Alexander scored his first competitive Liverpool goal seven years after he led the team out for a League Cup tie against Leeds at Elland Road.
