And more than one fan pointed out online that Doku broke a 10-year Premier League record by dribbling past the Liverpudlian more than 10 times when they faced off back in 2023."The audacity to clown someone who made you the most dribbled player in Premier League history in one game is actually crazy," read one comment on a post showing Alexander Arnold's mocking.
