Liverpool 2-0 Fulham: 5 Talking points, Premier League 2018/19

#5 Full backs impress in a routine win against Fulham

Liverpool FC v Fulham FC - Premier League

After enduring tough outings against Arsenal and Red Star Belgrade, Liverpool's full-backs Andy Robertson and Trent Alexander-Arnold put in a brilliant shift against Fulham.

Trent Alexander-Arnold, who has often been criticized for ignoring his defensive responsibilities, started off slowly but got into his groove as the game progressed. The English International was initially sloppy in possession but grew in stature as the game progressed and balanced his offensive and defensive responsibilities, forming a formidable partnership with Joe Gomez.

He assisted Salah's goal four minutes from half-time and also kept the likes of Sessegnon and Le Marchand quiet during the game. The Right Back successfully completed 4 long balls, 2 key passes, winning 2 aerial duels and making 2 interceptions.

Meanwhile, Andy Robertson put in a Man of the Match performances and assisted Shaqiri for his second goal in red, with a brilliant left-footed cross. Robertson was solid defensively which resulted in Schurrle having no joy down the left.

Robertson finished the game with a pass success rate of 87% and made three interceptions over the 90 minutes.
