## Trent Alexander-Arnold Gets Revenge on James Maddison Jibe Over Tottenham Replay
Last week, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp made headlines when he suggested that the Reds’ 2-1 defeat at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium last month could be replayed due to a VAR communication error that led to Luis Diaz’s goal not being allowed to stand. The football world found all sorts of ways to poke fun at Liverpool and the situation, with James Maddison getting involved in the joke while on England duty with Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Maddison posted an Instagram story of the two in camp with the caption: “Still asking for a replay.” But Alexander-Arnold was having none of it. In an interview with Channel 4, he used his famous Scouse wit to get his brutal revenge.
“No, he was asking me to teach him how to put a free-kick in the top corner,” Alexander-Arnold said. “But, I’d just shown him the video when I scored at Leicester last year and they got relegated!”
The Liverpool right-back was referring to his brilliant set piece during the 3-0 win at the King Power Stadium back in May, which helped seal Maddison and his side’s Premier League fate. Alexander-Arnold was also instrumental in the famous 4-0 win on Boxing Day in 2019 en route to Liverpool’s record-breaking title assault.
It was a tongue-in-cheek retort to match the nature of Maddison’s dig, but it is one that will go down brilliantly with Reds fans. Liverpool and Leicester supporters have clashed in recent years following a series of tasteless chants from the Foxes faithful and it is fair to say there was little sympathy from our side when they went down last season!
Tottenham may have stolen the points at the death a couple of weeks ago, but it is fair to say that Trent has had the last laugh in this particular exchange!
## Conclusion
Trent Alexander-Arnold provided the perfect comeback to James Maddison’s jibe about replaying the Tottenham game earlier this week. With his famous Scouse wit, Alexander-Arnold was able to get his revenge on Maddison and provide some much needed comic relief for Liverpool fans. His set piece during the 3-0 win at Leicester last year sealed Maddison and his side’s Premier League fate, while his performance in the 4-0 win on Boxing Day in 2019 was instrumental in Liverpool’s record-breaking title assault. Although Tottenham may have stolen the points at the death a couple of weeks ago, it is fair to say that Trent has had the last laugh in this particular exchange!
