Hoffenheim 1-2 Liverpool Highlights UCL 2017

Trent Alexander-Arnold, the 18-year-old right-back born a stone’s throw from Melwood, swept Liverpool into a precious lead in the play-off first leg.

He star with a stunning debut goal for his boyhood club on his European bow. James Milner, older than the opposition coach, Julian Nagelsmann, looked to have, in effect, secured progress with a deflected second only for Mark Uth to set up a fraught, tense finale with a late reply. Thanks to Hubner’s miss and Simon Mignolet’s first-half penalty save, however, Liverpool secured a valuable advantage in Germany.
