Fans reckon Trent Alexander-Arnold is ‘Zinedine Zidane in disguise’ after Liverpool man’s ‘beautiful’ skill vs Fulham
FANS have compared Trent Alexander-Arnold to Zinedine Zidane after his “beautiful skill” against Fulham.
The Liverpool star has looked back to his best since manager Jurgen Klopp changed his role in the team’s system.
As an inverted full-back, Alexander-Arnold has had more freedom going forward and less responsibility defending.
And it appears as if the shackles have been taken off with his recent performances.
He wowed fans again with a fantastic bit of skill during the 1-0 win over Fulham at Anfield last night.
The defender pirouetted with the ball during the first half of the game and left Joao Palhinha chasing his shadow.
Supporters were impressed with the move as they compared him to the retired French star.
One tweeted: “Trent, are you Zidane in disguise? That was beautiful.”
A second wrote: “Trent pulling some Zidane pirouettes in midfield. What a player.”
A third commented: “Zidane: ‘I used to skip school just to watch Trent Alexander-Arnold play football.'”

A fourth argued: “That 360 turn from Trent should be counted as his assist this game.”
While a fifth said: “What a 360 turn from Trent despite him being marked. Goodness me that was absolutely beautiful oh my daaaaaaaaays!”
Liverpool won the game thanks to a controversial Mohamed Salah penalty.
The result puts them four points behind Champions League rivals Manchester United, although they have played two more games than the fourth-placed side.
