Jurgen Klopp hailed Trent Alexander-Arnold's performance as "super influential" after the right-back snatched a draw for Liverpool at Manchester City.The England international struck a fine equaliser as the Reds held the champions 1-1 in a tight encounter at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday.Erling Haaland had put City ahead with his 50th Premier League goal from just 48 appearances - a new record - but Alexander-Arnold, having come through some tough moments against the tricky Jeremy Doku, changed the script 10 minutes from time.Having stepped into midfield, the 25-year-old took a touch and fired into the bottom corner from outside the area to peg back City and allow Arsenal, courtesy of their victory at Brentford, to take top spot.It was a strong reminder of Alexander-Arnold's talents after an international break in which there has been much debate over how he can be most effectively deployed by England manager Gareth Southgate.Liverpool boss Klopp said: "Trent was super influential.

Not only in the goal - around the goal, in all situations he was a really important player. He played a really good game."We changed it, with the position.

We made it more clear where he has to be in these moments."He did that really well and had still his moments with Doku where he was really strong in the one-on-one situations."You could see in a lot of moments how difficult it is against him, he is a really good dribbler.

Trent was pretty influential in a good way."Alexander-Arnold's leveller not only took the gloss off Haaland's achievement - the previous quickest player to a half-century was Andy Cole in 65 games - but also denied City a share of another record.Pep Guardiola's side had won their previous 23 home games in all
