As an inverted full-back, Alexander-Arnold has had more freedom going forward and less responsibility defending.

And it appears as if the shackles have been taken off with his recent performances.

He wowed fans again with a fantastic bit of skill during the 1-0 win over Fulham at Anfield last night.

The defender pirouetted with the ball during the first half of the game and left Joao Palhinha chasing his shadow.

Supporters were impressed with the move as they compared him to the retired French star.

A second wrote: "Trent pulling some Zidane pirouettes in midfield. What a player."

A third commented: "Zidane: 'I used to skip school just to watch Trent Alexander-Arnold play football.'"

A fourth argued: "That 360 turn from Trent should be counted as his assist this game."

Liverpool won the game thanks to a controversial Mohamed Salah penalty.
