New Footage Shows Liverpool Star Gesturing to Fans in the Kop After Booing Departing Trent Alexander-Arnold Following Arsenal Draw
Trent Alexander-Arnold’s introduction at Anfield on Sunday was met with a less than warm reception, and this appeared to bother one of his Liverpool teammates.
The 26-year-old England international had announced the previous week his departure from Liverpool at the end of the season, concluding a prolonged period of speculation and confirming what had been widely anticipated in football circles.

Despite spending two decades with the club and contributing to numerous trophy wins for the Reds, Alexander-Arnold’s impending exit triggered anger among some Liverpool supporters.
Dominik Szoboszlai could be seen gesturing angrily towards the Kop after Trent Alexander-Arnold was booed on Sunday
These sections of the fanbase made their feelings evident at Anfield by booing Alexander-Arnold when he came on as a second-half substitute.
This sentiment persisted after the final whistle as he walked around the pitch to applaud the fans, only to be met with further jeers. This reaction seemed to irritate his teammate Dominik Szoboszlai.
A video circulating on social media captures Alexander-Arnold approaching the Kop end of the stadium and being booed by fans. In response, the Hungarian midfielder is seen gesturing with irritation, waving his hands dismissively before walking away.
Alexander-Arnold was already a talking point before the match began, having been named on the bench. His place in the starting lineup was taken by Conor Bradley, who will be aiming to demonstrate his suitability as the long-term successor to the 26-year-old.
It is expected that Liverpool will look to sign a replacement for Alexander-Arnold in the starting eleven. However, there might also be a tactical adjustment for the upcoming season, considering how the team’s system has been tailored to maximize his unique abilities.
Sunday’s match was an intriguing encounter between the top two teams in the Premier League, although its impact on the title race was less significant than many might have predicted at the start of the season, given that Liverpool had already secured the championship.
Liverpool quickly established a 2-0 lead with goals from Cody Gakpo and Luis Diaz within two minutes of each other.
However, Arsenal fought back, with Gabriel Martinelli scoring shortly after the break and Mikel Merino equalizing after capitalizing on a loose ball, before later being sent off for a second yellow card.
While Liverpool had already secured the Premier League title, the draw was a valuable point for Arsenal in their quest to finish second, especially with an upcoming midweek fixture against a high-performing Newcastle side.
