Trent Alexander-Arnold heaped praised on Liverpool’s latest academy graduate Luke Chambers after the youngster made his debut for the club in their 5-1 Europa League win over Toulouse.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chambers started for Jurgen Klopp’s side on Thursday night and put in a solid performance in a dominant win that saw the Reds maintain their 100 percent record this campaign.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Fittingly, the home side were captained by their most successful academy star in recent years, who recalled his debut in 2016 and hailed the youngster’s performance.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘I\u2019ve seen it was seven years yesterday since my debut,’ Alexander-Arnold told TNT Sports post-match. ‘And I still know exactly how it feels.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘That excitement, you\u2019ve worked so hard for. He\u2019s put in all the hard work, he\u2019s shown himself, he\u2019s been outstanding every time.<\/p>\n

A route to the first team opened up for Chambers after the injury to Andrew Robertson<\/p>\n
‘He\u2019s been in and around the team on and off the pitch, and he plays amazing football.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘It\u2019s amazing to see him out there, and he\u2019s a real amazing player and he has great potential \u2013 and I\u2019m sure him and his family will have a great night because it\u2019s one he\u2019ll never forget.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘He put in an amazing performance out there, very mature, and contributed to a big win for us.’<\/p>\n
Goals from Diogo Jota, Darwin Nunez, Wataru Endo, Ryan Gravenberch and Mohamed Salah fired Liverpool to all three points.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And aside from Toulouse equalising shortly after Liverpool’s opener in the first half through Thijs Dallinga, it was a perfect night for the Premier League outfit.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chambers, who has seen his first team oppurtunities improve with the long-term injury to Andrew Robertson, said the experience was a dream come true.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘I\u2019ve dreamt of this moment since I was six years old,’ the 19-year-old said. ‘And a win as well. I\u2019m lost for words.<\/p>\n
‘I found out yesterday and had a little bit of time with my family at night and a bit of reality this morning when I woke up. But I loved every minute of it.’<\/p>\n
Former Liverpool midfielder Joe Cole also had a few congratulatory words for a youngster he reckoned ‘looked at home’ on the big stage.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘He should be very proud of his performance.’ said Cole. ‘He\u2019s done everything you needed to do. He looked at home. He didn\u2019t look like a young lad.<\/p>\n
‘He\u2019s done very well and should be pleased of his night\u2019s work.’<\/p>\n
