TRENT ALEXANDER-ARNOLD couldn’t bear to watch as he hid his head during Liverpool’s defeat to Everton.
Jurgen Klopp’s men saw their title hopes fade with a shock loss against their Merseyside rivals last night.
Trent Alexander-Arnold couldn’t bear to watch as Liverpool lost 2-0 at Everton
He buried his head in his shirt after being subbed off at Goodison Park
Goals from Jarrad Branthwaite and Dominic Calvert-Lewin secured a huge win for Everton on home soil.
It saw them all-but-secure safety from the drop zone, despite their six-point deduction.
While Liverpool are now three points leaders Arsenal and just one ahead of Man City — who still have two games in hand.
And the moment was too much to bear for Alexander-Arnold.
The right-back started the game at Goodison Park but was unable to make an impact.
He ended up being hauled off by Klopp late on in the game.
And as he sat on the bench, Alexander-Arnold buried his head in his shirt as he refused to watch the unfolding scenes.
The England star’s reaction summed up Liverpool’s recent form.

The Reds’ title bid has seemingly collapsed with just one win from their last four league games, and two defeats in their last three.
Despite initially building up steam following Klopp’s announcement that he will be leaving this summer, it appears the wheels have fallen off.
To make matters worse, Liverpool have already seen their FA Cup and Europa League hopes ended too.
They were dumped from the Cup by Man United in last month’s epic 4-3 quarter-final clash.
And last week Liverpool crashed out of Europe with a shock 3-1 aggregate defeat to Atalanta, also in the quarters.
Klopp now faces the very real prospect of ending his final season with just the Carabao Cup, which Liverpool narrowly won in extra time.
And captain Virgil van Dijk questioned his teammates’ desire in a brutal post-match interview.
He said: “Do they really want to win the league?
“If you play like this overall in the game and not win any challenges and give the referee an opportunity to give a free-kick away then we have no chance to win the title.
“Very disappointed in so many ways. Everyone has to look in the mirror and look at their own performance and think if they gave everything.
“It is a tough one and obviously we have to do better against a side near the relegation [positions] it is time to focus.
“If you play like today we have no chance to consider ourselves in the title race.”
