If the Premier League is to take an enforced break amid another surge in coronavirus cases, Trent Alexander-Arnold gave it quite a send-off. The Liverpool full back has the perhaps the most dangerous right foot in English soccer and he used it to devastating effect with a late long-range strike to seal a come-from-behind 3-1 win over Newcastle. The victory meant Liverpool returned to within a point of league leader Manchester City in what is shaping up to be an exciting title race. Third-place Chelsea couldn’t keep pace as it was held to a 1-1 draw by injury-hit Everton and is now four points behind City.
