Trent Alexander-Arnold a different player with Jordan Henderson in Liverpool side, says Michael Owen

Trent Alexander-Arnold outlined why Jurgen Klopp has no doubt in the Liverpool defender’s ability, according to BT Sport pundits Rio Ferdinand and Michael Owen. Liverpool beat Rangers 2-0 in the Champions League on Tuesday night, with Alexander-Arnold scoring a stunning free-kick before Mohamed Salah's 53rd-minute penalty sealed the win. Ad Alexander-Arnold’s contribution came after he was criticised for his defensive display against Brighton on the weekend, while last week Gareth Southgate suggested the defender is fourth in the pecking order when it comes to England right-backs.

Where he has been questioned is defensively,” Ferdinand said.

“I’m one of those that likes to look at the good things from players. We saw that from his passing, and the area that he leaves was protected tonight.
