Trent Alexander-Arnold highlights Liverpool's team effort and tactical adjustments in Arsenal win

Trent Alexander-Arnold hailed Liverpool's late victory after their 2-0 win over Arsenal in the FA Cup third round.

Jakub Kiwior conceded an own goal after 80 minutes before Luis Diaz's neat finish in second half added-time was enough for Jurgen Klopp's men to claim victory.

Liverpool struggled to get going in the opening 45 before they found their rhythm late on to book their place in the fourth round.

Speaking to BBC Sport, Alexander-Arnold said: "It was a huge win. We had a lot of players missing today. We came here with one objective, which was to win and to get into the next round and we have done that with two late goals.

"We had chances and we changed things at half-time internally. We came out and played football, created chances, the changes we made had an impact for us.

"There were times in the first half where we were a bit naive. We had mistakes, a sloppy pass here and there."

Alexander-Arnold's whipped corner led to Kiwior nodding the ball past Aaron Ramsdale and into his own net.

He added: "The inswingers (crosses) you want to make as difficult as possible and that's the aim, to make it as hard as possible for them to clear the ball. Any flick from one of their players could potentially go in."
