Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold was booed by a number of Liverpool fans in his first game since he announced he intends to leave the club when his contract expires at the end of the season.

Liverpool drew 2-2 with 10-man Arsenal at Anfield in the Premier League on Sunday, with Alexander-Arnold coming off the bench just after the hour mark.

He received a negative reaction from a significant number of Liverpool supporters, although many fans applauded the defender at the end of the match.

"That's the story of the game.

I'm sure we will be after the game and it'll be on the back of every newspaper tomorrow," Jamie Carragher said as a pundit on Sky Sports.

"I was surprised how many.

When you're in a crowd of 60,000 people, I don't doubt there's a lot of unhappy people in Liverpool, about the situation, and I've said that's understandable.

"I said when he came on at Leicester and there was a few boos from the away section that I don't believe any player putting that red shirt on and going out to play for the club and trying to win them three points and win them trophies should be booed.

"I understand there's a lot of ill feeling.

I can get that and some people outside of Liverpool can't seem to understand that, I do, but I think booing one of your players when they're playing is not for me."

Liverpool defender Andy Robertson said it is "not nice" to hear a longtime teammate being booed and hailed Alexander-Arnold's legacy at the club.

"Disappointed to lose a good friend, he's an amazing player and an amazing person.

It hasn't been an easy one for Trent but he has made the decision.

"It was not nice to see him get booed but you can't tell people how to feel.

That's how I feel about it and I'm not going to tell anyone else how to feel about it."
