Thanks to a new assist this Sunday, Trent Alexander-Arnold passed several great Premier League players.
Liverpool are smiling at the start of the season. 5th in the last Premier League season, the Reds have started their 2023-2024 season perfectly with a draw against Chelsea followed by three consecutive victories. The last took place this Sunday afternoon against Aston Villa who had won their first three matches.
Alexander-Arnold still decisive
But at Anfield, Jürgen Klopp’s men were ruthless with Boubacar Kamara and his teammates beaten 3-0. On this occasion, Trent Alexander-Arnold, often criticized for his defensive errors, as against Newcastle a week earlier, stood out offensively. From the 3rd minute, the English side served Dominik Szoboszlai for the opener and delivered his first assist of the season.
Trent Alexander-Arnold has now provided 55 Premier League assists in 202 games – that’s more than:
◉ 54 – Mesut Ozil (184 games)
◉ 54 – Eden Hazard (245 games)
◉ 54 – Juan Mata (278 games)Just a lad from West Derby. 🔴 pic.twitter.com/ZVGg8nQwrz

The assist was Alexander-Arnold’s 55th in 202 Premier League appearances if figures from Squawka. Impressive figures that allow him to overtake several outstanding attacking midfielders of recent years in England such as Mesut Özil (54 in 184 matches), Eden Hazard (54 in 245 matches) or Juan Mata (54 in 278 matches). He still needs 25 caviars to equal David Beckham and enter the top 10 of the best passers in the history of the English championship.
