"Extraordinary" - Gary Lineker in awe of what Liverpool star kept doing against Man. Utd - originally posted on Sportslens.com
Liverpool left it late to maintain their unbeaten start to the Premier League campaign with a 1-1 draw against Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday. Marcus Rashford put the hosts ahead in controversial circumstances in the 36th minute after they broke away on a counter. Liverpool felt like they should have had a free-kick after Divock Origi goes down under a challenge from Victor Lindelof. However, play went on, with Daniel James delivering a brilliant cross for Rashford to tuck home. VAR carried out a check for a foul but the goal stood nonetheless. The visitors dominated possession for the larger parts of the second-half, and finally equalised in the 85th minute through Adam Lallana.
The midfielder tucked away an inch-perfect cross from Andrew Robertson to score his first goal in more than two years. While the Scotland international turned provider time out, his teammate and fellow full-back Trent Alexander-Arnold also impressed. The performance of the youngster caught the attention of Match of the Day presenter Gary Lineker, and he reacted thus on Twitter:
The passing range of @trentaa98 is extraordinary.

Alexander-Arnold created a couple of chances for Liverpool, and will look to play another huge role this term after going into the record books for his input last term.
