Trent Alexander-Arnold took to Instagram to celebrate Andy Robertson claiming his first assist of the Premier League season in Sunday's 2-2 draw with Arsenal.

The Scotland international set up the Reds' opener at Anfield as he crossed for Cody Gakpo to head past David Raya in the 20th minute.

For Robertson, it was his first assist in the Premier League since he set up Gakpo to score the third goal in Liverpool's 3-1 win over Sheffield United in April 2024.

It was an afternoon to forget for Alexander-Arnold as he was booed by a significant number of supporters inside Anfield on his first appearance for the Reds since he announced that he would be leaving the club at the end of the season.

When speaking to Sky Sports after the game, Robertson - who has played alongside Alexander-Arnold since joining the club from Hull City eight years ago - admitted it was difficult to stomach the boos aimed at the defender.

"There’s a lot of emotion around it,” said Robertson.

“It’s crucial in these moments that I don’t tell you how to feel and you don’t tell me how to feel about it.

“All I can tell you is how I feel about it.

He kept pushing me through the good years and he’s made a choice.

“His legacy at this club is there for everyone to see, the trophies he’s won and the moments he’s had in history will always be there.

But he’s made the decision.

“It’s not nice to see a friend get booed and it wasn’t nice, but we can’t tell people how to act.

I can tell you how I feel about it, I’m extremely proud of what he’s done for this club.

I love him as a friend, I love him as a player and he’ll be missed as one of my best friends in the game.

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