Trent Alexander-Arnold was hammered by Arne Slot in the final moments of Liverpool's win at Manchester City - before being hauled off minutes later.

The right-back helped the Reds further their lead at the top of the Premier League as they beat the outgoing champions at the Etihad.

The Liverpool boss has also refused to declare his team champions despite their mammoth lead at the top, insisting his players know how much work there still is to do.

He said: "I don't think I need to even enforce that message because these are the players that played – and I know the [Nottingham] Forest fans are going to like me saying this again - but these players played the Forest home game, these players played the Fulham home game, these same players played the Manchester United home game.

"The same players played Newcastle away, which was a very difficult game for us - two times being a goal down and then being one goal up and eventually drawing it to 3-3.

These players are so long in this competition – even much longer than me – so they know how difficult every single game is and if you have to play 11 that it's still a long way to go."
