Andy Robertson has hailed fellow Liverpool fullback Trent Alexander-Arnold after his performance against West Ham United.

The English right-back grabbed his 16th assist of the season as Sadio Mane scored the only goal in Saturday's win over the Hammers.

Asked about Alexander-Arnold, Robertson said: "He's been incredible. The goalline clearance was special, [he was] slightly out of position to start if I'm going to be critical but his recovery run was incredible – the speed and determination to get back on the line.

"To be honest, we speak a lot about assists but for me that is the most important thing he has done today. The assist was a mishit shot! He's admitted that at least… look, 16 assists on the season is incredible but today his most important contribution is the clearance off the line because that kept us in the lead and kept us 1-0 up when really it should've been a goal.

"It was really good from him, incredible determination and an incredible goal contribution – long may that continue.

"We have a friendly competition but if both of us are contributing and helping the team win games then that is the most important thing. I was delighted when the goal went in, when you take the lead you then want to hang on for the three points.

"[It was] a good performance from Trent, hopefully he can get to numbers we have never seen before and keep going. There's still a lot of games to go and he can get an assist anytime he wants really."
