Liverpool full-back Trent Alexander-Arnold has officially entered the Guinness World Record book for his haul of 12 assists in the Premier League last season.
The 21 year old became an undisputed starter at right-back in the 2018-19 campaign, featuring 29 times as the Reds narrowly missed out on the Premier League title to Manchester City.
Alexander-Arnold’s performances earned him a place in the Professional Footballers’ Association Premier League Team of the Year and he has also become a regular at international level for England.
His effectiveness in the final third has drawn most acclaim and his remarkable haul of 12 assists is a new record for a defender in the Premier League, going one better than his team-mate Andy Robertson, who managed 11 in the same season.
Alexander-Arnold, who also shone in Europe to help Liverpool win the Champions League, described it as “an unbelievably proud moment” to have surpassed the record previously held jointly by Everton duo Andy Hinchcliffe (1994-95) and Leighton Baines (2010-11).
