TRENT Alexander-Arnold\u2019s admission that he deliberately celebrated his Etihad equaliser in front of Manchester City fans could land the Liverpool ace in hot water.<\/p>\n
Alexander-Arnold\u2019s late strike stole a point for Jurgen Klopp\u2019s men.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
But while the Liverpool fans were congregated at the same end of the Etihad, to the left of the goal, Alexander-Arnold opted to run to the nearest corner to mark his moment.<\/p>\n
He spread his arms wide as he ran to the goalline before standing in front of the home supporters and putting his fingers to his lips.<\/p>\n
In his post-match interviews, Alexander-Arnold conceded it had been a deliberate act.<\/p>\n
He said: \u201cIt\u2019s always good to celebrate in front of away fans. Seeing all of the faces is really funny.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
But the celebration brought a social media backlash from City fans, who accused the England star of deliberately taunting them.<\/p>\n Law 12 states that a player \u201cmust be cautioned\u201d for \u201cgesturing or acting in a provocative, derisory or inflammatory way\u201d.<\/p>\n Referee Chris Kavanagh opted to take no action and it is unknown if he made any mention of the celebration in his official match report.<\/p>\n If he did, then FA disciplinary beaks may intervene, although it is more likely that Alexander-Arnold would be warned about his future conduct more than any other action.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n CASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERS<\/strong><\/p>\n Alexander-Arnold\u00a0believed that City had a "game plan" to counter him.<\/p>\n He told\u00a0Sky Sports: "I think there was potentially a game plan to stop me from getting the ball in midfield, at least that's what it felt like, especially in the first half.<\/p>\n "A lot of man-marking – Bernardo was really\u00a0close to me.<\/p>\n "It was about trying\u00a0to get the ball in different ways, trying\u00a0to pass the ball wider, get on the ball as much as possible.<\/p>\n "It was not really a game for penetration\u00a0through the middle, it was more round the side."<\/p>\n He also suggested the Reds gave City too much respect – and space – before the break.<\/p>\n He said: "I don't think we played particularly well, first half particularly.<\/p>\n "The formation and the way they set up really challenged us. They have a lot of bodies in there, difficult to play against.<\/p>\n "But we regrouped at half-time and came out with a bit more of a game plan and to press them.<\/p>\n "In the second half we definitely put that respect to one side and thought, 'let's go for it'."<\/p>\n The Liverpool star also donned some unseen Adidas Predator boots as he has now switched sponsors.<\/p>\n<\/picture>BLACK OUT BLUNDER <\/span><\/p>\n
