Explained: Why Liverpool star Trent Alexander-Arnold was NOT awarded a goal despite free-kick screamer against Fulham

Premier League

Southampton

The right-back thought he had scored a genuinely fantastic free-kick, shooting at goal from around 30 yards and seeing it smash against the crossbar and cross the line. The ball then hit Bernd Leno, however, and went into the back of the net.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Because the ball struck the crossbar and then hit Leno, the goal has been taken away from Alexander-Arnold, with the goalkeeper's touch proving decisive. As a result, it will not be added to the right-back's haul for this season. For Fantasy Football players, though, the Liverpool man was at least awarded an assist.

THE EXPLANATION

Alexander-Arnold has been in remarkable form this season and came into Sunday's game on the back of his goal in the 1-1 draw with Manchester City last time out. However, he has been robbed of the prospect of scoring twice in two successive games.

DID YOU KNOW?

The right-back will have to stomach the fact that his goal will not count towards his tally. Liverpool are next in action in midweek against Sheffield United.

WHAT NEXT FOR ALEXANDER-ARNOLD?
