Liverpool great Steven Gerrard has sung the praises of Trent Alexander-Arnold after his latest England performance.

Alexander-Arnold struck in their 7-0 Euro 2024 qualifying win against North Macedonia.

Gerrard said: "When you are playing in games against Malta and playing against another team [North Macedonia] who play with a compact block, Trent [Alexander-Arnold] is someone who can unlock the door at any given moment as he has such a good range of passing.

"I think that he has got big belief and confidence from Jurgen Klopp in this role and it's very interesting to see that Gareth [Southgate] has followed up and given him an opportunity in there. But what Trent has done is he has gone out and backed that up. I thought he was man-of-the-match on Friday night.

"He has been playing with confidence and that defensive responsibility has been taken away from him because he was under pressure and there was a lot of spotlight on him in that role."
