Supporters of the England national team have flooded to social media on Thursday evening, to respond to the latest exploits of Liverpool star Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Gareth Southgate’s troops, of course, are currently locked in action.
After notching wins in each of their first two qualifiers for Euro 2024, the Three Lions have made the trip to the Grawnd Nazzjonali, eyeing a third win on the spin up against minnows Malta.
And, with 45 minutes on the clock, this is precisely what the evening’s visitors are on their way to.
This comes with England in possession of a three-goal advantage, after an early own goal was first added to by Trent Alexander-Arnold, and later, Harry Kane.
It was the former’s finish which piqued widespread attentions, though, with Alexander-Arnold, afforded a surprise berth in midfield by boss Southgate, having driven a gorgeous strike from distance into the far corner of the Malta net:
Trent Alexander-Arnold that is OUTSTANDING 🤩

In fact, taking to social media, many of a Three Lions persuasion have called for Alexander-Arnold to be afforded a permanent place in the country’s midfield setup.

Midfield is his position

He’s better in midfield than playing as a fullback
