Alexander-Arnold: Leicester win was Liverpool's best performance of the season

Liverpool right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold has said that his side's 4-0 victory over Leicester on Boxing Day was their best performance of the season.

Alexander-Arnold was highly impressed by the way his side won so emphatically after a trying week.

"We played really good football after all the travelling and intense period, yes it is the best performance of the season," Alexander-Arnold told Amazon. "We controlled it, to get four goals is something to be proud of.

"I don't get on the scoresheet too often. I saw the space from Sadio Mane's pass and thought, 'hit it first time'... Good to get the goals, the three points is what we came for. We are made up."

Liverpool are heavy favourites for their first Premier League title ever and first English top-flight crown since 1989-90, though Manchester City can close the gap to 11 points with a win over Wolves on Thursday.

Alexander-Arnold, though, isn't ready to start celebrating just yet, with plenty of matches to go before the season ends in May.

"You don't really think you will be 13 points [clear] but we are happy to be in this position and we will not take it for granted. This is the Premier League and anything can happen," the 21-year-old added.

Liverpool won't have much time to rest following Thursday's game, as they are back in action on Sunday when they host Wolves at Anfield.
