Arsenal still requiring more points to cement second spot and Champions League qualification.
Liverpool, about the situation, and I’ve said that’s understandable. I don’t believe any player putting that red shirt on and going out to play for the club and trying to win them three points and win them trophies should be booed.”Liverpool fans.
Still, a strange experience for him, you would think.
Liverpool have now won just four of their past nine matches – their worst run of the campaign. Games against Brighton (A) and Crystal Palace (H) will conclude their season.Liverpool star Jamie Carragher, speaking on Sky Sports re the booing of Alexander-Arnold:
“I understand there’s a lot of ill-feeling and some people from outside of Liverpool don’t get that. I do. But booing your own player, it’s not for me.”

Liverpool backline at the moment. Arsenal are smelling blood.Liverpool – and the visitors have kept their cool throughout the second half and reaped their rewards.
It was an Ødegaard howitzer that Alisson parried onto the woodwork, and it ended with the ball in the net courtesy of Merino.
The goal will stand. The Spanish midfielder was just onside. Game on!
ARSENAL ARE LEVEL! WOW.
Merino followed in with his head after Alisson just about kept out a long shot. But is it offside?
69 mins: Back to the action and it’s still Arsenal doing the bulk of the probing.
HUGE boos for Alexander-Arnold as he takes his first touch. Gah, you feel for him, not an easy situation.
Liverpool as a double league winner, with a Champions League winners’ medal and plenty of other pots in his cabinet, too.
