Liverpool fullback Trent Alexander-Arnold has told teammates to toughen up after their defeat at Leicester City.

Alexander-Arnold has warned his Liverpool team-mates they must change their mentality towards "tough situations", after the Red's shocking collapse at Leicester.

"I think for 70 to 75 minutes we were outstanding, up there with one of our best performances. Really, really top drawer from us," Alexander-Arnold told Liverpool's official club website.

"Then the tables turned and they put the game to bed within the matter of five to 10 minutes and that's football. It happened so quickly, it just happened in a moment and we've just crumbled at the end of the day.

"We had confidence going into it. We were 1-0 up, I've heard it's (the first goal) been dubious to be offside, but it's part of football.

"The second goal is one in a million really, just a lack of communication, no-one to blame there. The third goal, we've lost the ball in a bad position and they've punished us for it.

"By that point the game is dead and buried and it's tough to get back from that point.

"I think our mentality needs to improve in those tough situations that we had."
