Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold says he and his team-mates were relieved to leave Elland Road with all three points this weekend as he discussed Leeds United’s ‘unorthodox’ approach. Speaking about Marcelo Bielsa ‘s side and their philosophy on how to play football,
Trent Alexander-Arnold said: “They are unorthodox and they stick to what they know. Even when they’re down to 10 men, they’re still playing the same way that they have. It’s not sitting behind the ball and defending, it’s front-footed, chasing around the pitch and wanting to be aggressive.”
With that in mind, he shared how Liverpool felt to have picked up a convincing win.
Trent Alexander Arnold said: “We could have been a lot more clinical, put the game to bed earlier and really probably scored a lot more goals. But you never turn your nose up at a 3-0 win at Elland Road – a clean sheet, three goals and three points.”
Leeds had started the game strongly, as tends to be their way. Arguably their best chance of the whole game came in the first five minutes and in fact was the first shot of the whole match.
