Ian Wright believes it is "ridiculous" that Trent Alexander-Arnold was not awarded Liverpool's opening goal in Sunday's 4-3 win over Fulham.
After the game, it transpired that Liverpool's first goal, which Alexander-Arnold celebrated considerably, was credited as a Bernd Leno own goal
Wright questioned the decision, saying: “How can they not give that first one to Trent, by saying that’s an own goal?
Trent has been in fine goal-scoring form for the Reds this campaign, with his match-winning strike against Fulham coming just a week after he had earned Liverpool a point at City
manager Jurgen Klopp refused to be drawn on whether he would ever reassign his No.66 into a midfield role full-time.

“We still have to make decisions on what is best for the team and Trent sees it exactly the same way,"
"He wants to play and from my point of view he has to be influential and we have to make sure we help him with the positioning.
“He became one of the most successful players in the history of Liverpool, in the recent history, playing as a right-back. He became a Premier League player as a right-back. He can play more inside definitely.
“He will play where it is best for us. What do we have available? Is Joey (Joe Gomez) there, is Conor (Bradley) there? If they both are there do we have to play one of them at left-back because Kostas (Tsimikas) cannot play all the games?
“Yes, Trent can play midfield but we always knew that Trent can play the role we gave him now very well as well.
“If you want to be good he has to be influential from all different areas because it just makes us better if he plays a good game.”
