In the 47th minute of this evening’s Premier League tie between Liverpool and Sheffield United, Trent Alexander-Arnold battled to create a chance for the Reds.
After seeing a long-range strike blocked, the right-back pounced on a loose ball and charged down to the byline under pressure from Enda Stevens.
Alexander-Arnold managed to fire a cross into the box, which was cleared, but spilled into the path of Curtis Jones, the midfield composed himself before tucking the ball into the bottom corner.
A VAR check followed to deem whether the entire ball was out of play when the cross was produced, but it was a nice surprise to see a quick investigation for once and the goal stood.

Liverpool have the lead! ?
Sheffield United thought it went out but the VAR rules the goal as legitimate. A smart finish from Curtis Jones.

Jones is becoming a more and more important player for the Reds, he’s one of few players that have really upped their game this season.
