New footage of Trent Alexander-Arnold free-kick shows Virgil van Dijk's perfect reaction

New footage has emerged of Trent Alexander-Arnold's stunning free-kick against Chelsea which prompted a telling reaction from teammate Virgil van Dijk.

Liverpool were already a goal ahead thanks to Naby Keita's strike, when they were awarded a free-kick which led to an X-rated rant from Chelsea boss Frank Lampard.

Alexander-Arnold has already shown his talent at set pieces over the course of this season, including scoring a free-kick at Chelsea earlier in the campaign.

So it perhaps come as little surprise when the full-back bent another effort round and over the wall and into the back of the net - and it certainly didn't shock van Dijk.

The Dutch defender was standing back close to the halfway line and watching on in anticipation as Alexander-Arnold ran up to shoot.

And in a video posted on Liverpool's official website, van Dijk's arms were stretched out in celebration before the ball had even hit the back of the net in knowing belief of where his teammate's shot was heading.

Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga was left no chance as he barely even moved to get across his goal to try and make a save.

Van Dijk then raised both arms aloft as Alexander-Arnold raced off to the corner to celebrate.

The centre-back soon made his way over himself to congratulate the England international.

He had complained about referee Andre Marriner's decision to award Liverpool a foul in the build-up to Alexander-Arnold's goal.

Mateo Kovacic had been penalised for bringing down Sadio Mane, which caused a row between Lampard and Liverpool's bench.

“How is that a foul? There's no foul there!” Lampard shouted, directing his ire in particular at Liverpool No.2 Pep Lijnders.

After being spoken to by the fourth official, Lampard turned away, before responding to someone on the Liverpool bench: "It's not a f****** foul! I'm not asking you. Shut up."

When Klopp tried to interject, Lampard said: ""F*** off you as well! One title you've won and you’re f*****g giving it the big 'un F*** off!"
