Trent Alexander-Arnold lost possession a staggering 45 times during Liverpool's crushing defeat to Leicester City.

He lost possession with 35.2 per cent of his touches in his side's 3-1 Premier League defeat on Saturday.

That's the most of any player in Europe's top five league this season with a minimum of 100 touches.

The Liverpool right-back unwantingly owns the top three spots for most losses of possession by a player in a single league match this term.

He lost possession 39 times against Burnley and 38 times against Southampton.

The 22-year-old has now lost possession 525 times in the league - the most of any player in England's top flight.

Alexander-Arnold has failed to replicate the form he was hitting last season.

Speaking after Liverpool's latest setback, the England international said they played outstanding for 75 minutes of the game before "crumbling" in the latter stages.

"I think, 70, 75 minutes, we were outstanding, up there with one of our best performances," he told LFCTV.

"Counter-pressing, taking the ball off them for fun. They couldn't really get out. Really, really top drawer from us.

"I think, first half, we never created too many clear-cut chances but second half we did. [We] had a few more shots, scored, and were in the driving seat.

"And then the tables turned. They put the game to bed in the matter of five, 10 minutes.

"That's football. It happens so quickly, it just happens. In the moment, we've crumbled at the end of the day."

Following their capitulation at the King Power Stadium, the Reds are now a massive 13 points behind league leaders Manchester City who have a game in hand.

Jurgen Klopp's side turn their attention to the Champions League as they play RB Leipzig next Wednesday, before resuming their league campaign against Everton next Saturday.
