trent alexander—arnold from west derby liverpool, part of a team that our clu b liverpool, part of arld champions and they have taken a major step towards ruling england. i don't expect a game like this to be completely free run because they had to have so much quality and who knows, everyone knows what a season leicester is playing so far and how many problems they could cause us but today we we re very they could cause us but today we were very concentrated and we did a lot of things really good. especially then scoring the goals, which is absolutely nice and very important day for us. the penalty hurts us, and we are good players and very good players, we suffer them because they were able to move them because they were able to move the ball and then they are getting further to goals. the players gave everything. like i said, it is about a learning game for us, the physicality of the game and the power of the game. but credit to liverpool, they played well. elsewhere, mikel arteta could only manage a draw in his first game in charge of arsenal, while carlo ancelotti got his everto

and then trent alexander—arnold steps up. with a moment of inspiration.hed onto that, a home—grown hero. ajax came to white hart lane and played really well. they beat us 1—0 and it could have been more but it is only a goal. we can turn it around. in the second leg, a couple more goals down and you start to lose hope. lucas moura hasn't really done much at spurs overall until this point but the prospect of him scoring a hat—trick felt like 1 million miles away. the second goal was just ridiculously impressive. five of the most beautiful touches i've ever seen in the penalty box and, at that point, i started to believe. five seconds left on the clock. and all hell broke loose in the stadium. i've never seen anything like it before. it was a once—in—a—lifetime moment on a football pitch. i think tottenham were on a wing and a prayer, liverpool were very keen to make sure there was no complacency. liverpool scored after two minutes. it was a bit of a sinking feeling. it felt very anti—climactic. the ball drops to divock 0rigi and it is that rattle when it h

roberto firmino scored twice — trent alexander arnold set up both his goals before scoring himself. we don't think about it. we did not mention it once before the game. because it is just not interesting. we all know that i can write the stories by myself. never before in the history of football, british football, this team has had a big lead and lost the lead, so that sounds on my air negative. so why should we think about something like that? if catching liverpool seems virtually impossible, manchester city have the chance to leapfrog leicester and move into second place if they beat wolves tonight at molineux. wolves have already pulled off a shock victory at the etihad this season, and 5live's conor mcnamara will be watching tonight to see if history can repeat itself. manchester city's defence of their premier league crown is dangling by a thread. they start this game 1a points behind liverpool and given the circumstances pep guardiola would probably prefer a different opponent tonight, particularly when you bear in mind the last time these two sides met in october at the etiha

we have got trent alexander—arnold at fullback. und a little bit. they stayed up late watching aston villa last night. that was a bit of a horror show. they will hope to put on a much better showing the semifinal that sta rts better showing the semifinal that starts in the next hour. it sounds like a fantastic cake, but what can we expect from monterrey this evening? four times they have been the champions league winners. that is what got them the tickets at this world cup tournament. monterrey scored a couple of crackers in their quarterfinal. they have already played one match to getting to the semifinals. we can't read too much into it but we heard from nicolas sanchez, their centre half yesterday and he says they are going to be incredibly motivated for this because they say meeting liverpool, who they considered to be the best clu b who they considered to be the best club side in the world come on form at the moment, is going to be a once opportunity. they play a very expansive style, watch out for those long—range shots. liver
