Alexander-Arnold is mocked by fans over his jibe about Arsenal's 'mentality'

Trent Alexander-Arnold has been mocked by rival fans on the back of Liverpool's defeat by Everton.

The defender played 84 minutes at Goodison Park on Wednesday night before being withdrawn for Joe Gomez, much to the amusement of the home crowd in Merseyside.

The 2-0 loss puts the Reds four points adrift of Arsenal at the top of the Premier League with four games to go, with the hopes of winning the title in Jurgen Klopp's final game all but gone.

'It all comes down to mentality. I think our result played a part in Arsenal's result.

None of us have been in a three-horse race, so it's difficult.'
