Barcelona star Anthony Gordon has this week moved to reveal his appreciation for the talents of Real Madrid defender and international teammate Trent Alexander-Arnold.
This comes after the pair combined to superb effect in the colours of England on Tuesday night.
En route to a 2-0 Nations League triumph for the Three Lions over Czechia in Prague, Alexander-Arnold teed up Gordon for the game’s opener.
From his berth at right-back, the former whipped a devilish delivery in behind the hosts’ backline, which was nodded into the corner of the Czech net by the arriving Gordon.
Speaking to the media in the game’s aftermath, the latter was in turn drawn on the quality boasted by his oft-criticised compatriot.
And Gordon made use of the opportunity to heap praise on Alexander-Arnold, explaining:
“Not many players can make the assist Trent made last night. I told him that when he scored! I keep making that run over and over… he’s fantastic. Top, top quality.”
