Watch every angle of Alexis Mac Allister’s stunning finish against Fulham on Sunday in our free video.

The midfielder opened his goalscoring account for the Reds in impressive fashion during the dramatic 4-3 victory over Marco Silva’s men at Anfield.

Mac Allister found the top corner of the net from 27 yards out to restore Liverpool’s advantage during the first half of the topsy-turvy encounter.

View the strike from a variety of angles in the video below.

was rare that Alexander-Arnold was stationary on the pitch. He nominally started the game at right-back but could be found operating as a sweeper, in central midfield or at left wing.

 

“When he did get a moment of calm, the full-back lined up from 25 yards before curling in off the bar with the sweetest of strikes, although it will be slightly tainted as it hit Leno’s back on the way down.

 

“It was a positive day for Liverpool’s academy as the equaliser came from one of their graduates, too, four minutes later.

 

“It highlighted the downside to Alexander-Arnold’s free role, however, as it came down Liverpool’s left with their “right-back” in the centre of the box.”

 

In his player ratings for the Evening Standard, Dom Smith praised a brilliant display from Trent:

 

“Popped up everywhere and was a constant threat. Scored an outstanding free-kick in the first half then went down unfortunately as an own goal and then scored a thunderous winner.”

 

But Liverpool need to improve further to win the title…

 

Evans does have doubts about some of Liverpool’s defensive work at the moment:

 

“For all the drama of the comeback, there wasn’t much to like about Liverpool’s defensive performance, especially in the first half as they were opened up too easily and looked particularly poor at set pieces.

 

“Fulham’s game plan — to limit the Liverpool attacks and play on the counter — worked well as they were ruthless in both boxes and only beaten by stunning long-range efforts.

 

“Klopp knew what to expect before the game and praised Fulham’s organisation, yet it still appeared to take his team by surprise.”

 

This Is Anfield‘s Mark Delgado stressed the importance of winning the upcoming fixtures:

“The 100 per cent home record remains intact, the Reds are up to second. It looked very different for a few minutes, but the resilience and the quality of the team eventually managed to shine through.

“And just as well: in a run of three quickfire Premier League games, nine points are the requirement and the expectation – we cannot drop silly points and remain in the running for top, or top two, into the new year.

 

“This was a crazy, turnaround, topsy-turvy match and one Trent will remember in particular – maybe a few coaches too, considering his impact the higher he plays.

“But straight away it’s vital that recovery begins and improvements are made, as they same type of performance might not be one we get away with next time.

“Sheffield United away in midweek, then Crystal Palace next weekend – the Reds will need wins from each in this mini run of opportunity.”
