Gary Lineker and Alan Shearer have criticised Liverpool supporters who booed Trent Alexander-Arnold when he came on as a substitute against Arsenal on Sunday.

Meanwhile, Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk admitted that Alexander-Arnold will "have to deal" with what comes his way after hearing the reaction on Sunday, but says his team-mate expected the response to his decision.

He said: "I think the manager said it right in the press conference that you can't decide how anyone feels about the decision he made for him and his family.
