Liverpool looked the better side following their goal and took the lead in the 36th minute after Mohamed Salah scored from a rebound after he missed his penalty.
Disaster struck for the Reds early in the second half. Alexis Mac Allister accidentally caught Ryan Christie with a studs-up challenge on the boot after the latter ran into the Argentine in the 58th minute. The former was harshly given a straight red card for the foul.
Despite being down to 10 men, Diogo Jota scored Liverpool's third goal just four minutes later. Jurgen Klopp and Co. were able to hold on to their 3-1 lead to seal all three points, but they were struck by a double injury blow.
Alexander-Arnold was substituted for Joe Gomez in the 76th minute after picking up a knock to his ankle. He was spotted wearing an ankle brace after the game with a painful grimace on his face.
