Alexander-Arnold’s work impressed TNT Sports commentator Lucy Ward, who believed that the full-back had a big influence on the Reds coming away with a point.

Alexander-Arnold has had more input in the second half of this game and it has helped Liverpool.

Despite his contract situation, Alexander-Arnold won’t down tools at Liverpool throughout the remainder of the campaign and his overall display against Aston Villa shows he can still have a major role at Anfield.

Alexander-Arnold’s performance against Aston Villa will not go down as one of the best of his career, however, the full-back had a significant impact on the game.

From a defensive point of view, Alexander-Arnold made four clearances, made just one tackle, won one out of his two duels, made no fouls and was not dribbled past by any Villa player.

Slot may already have a Alexander-Arnold replacement in mind, however, everyone associated with Liverpool hoped the full-back remains on Merseyside next season.
