While some have questioned the decision to play Alexander-Arnold further on, with Roy Keane reckoning the 25-year-old will be “shredded” in midfield, the Reds’ home star has received strong support from fellow Jude Bellingham.

“Brilliant,” Bellingham said on ITV of Alexander-Arnold after the game. “He makes it so easy for me because he can control the game so well.

“Defensively, I think in that position, I know people talk a lot of rubbish, but I think he was so aggressive with the pressure from the back of the goal and it really helped me because it meant I got a breather when he came out .

“I think we get along well with the ball. He wants to play positive all the time, he wants to play forward all the time.”

However, it was Gakpo who stole the show with a Man of the Match display in which he scored the Dutch equaliser, shining from the left side of the attack.

“I thought Gakpo played great,” said Dutch manager Ronaldo Koeman, according to De Telegraaf afterwards. “It went very well on the left side, we were very threatening there.

“At half-time we should have been 3-1 or 4-1 up, that would have been normal. But creating chances is one thing, finishing them off is another.”
