OneLiverpool fan says he has “never seen anything like” the hostile reception Trent Alexander-Arnold received when he was booed by the "majority" of the Anfield crowd against Arsenal.

And the reality of Alexander-Arnold leaving his childhood club without a transfer fee—after joining them at just six years old—has sparked outrage among some Liverpool supporters.
