'He must hate Anfield!' - Liverpool fans celebrate Trent Alexander-Arnold's thrilling comeback against Raheem Sterling

Liverpool are into the final of the invitational ePremier League tournament - and Reds fans are loving it.

Trent Alexander-Arnold came from two goals down on EA Sports' FIFA 20 against former Anfield and Manchester City star Raheem Sterling to win 3-2 in extra-time thanks to a stunning golden goal.

The win means Alexander-Arnold will be back in action in the final this afternoon.

“That was shambolic,” said Sterling at full time.

“Fair play, because he won. I should have finished that game off but he has won it

“Good luck, Trent. Go win the final. For sure, [I want Trent to win it]. Good luck in the final.”

Alexander-Arnold said after the game: “That was a big win. It was tough, honestly. At the start of the game, there was a massive lag and he scored two goals. I was gutted.

“He was hard to break down and he defended so well but I was able to get two goals and then win it with the rebound.”

“He tested me all the way, but I got the win in the end. Good game."

The win comes after Sterling warned Alexander-Arnold that there was no chance he would be beaten in the tournament's semi-final, despite Trent beating him on a number of occasions on FIFA.

Here is how Liverpool fans reacted to the result on social media...
