(Video) Xhaka and Trent bump chests in face-off after Arsenal man throws an elbow

Granit Xhaka inspired a furious reaction from Trent Alexander-Arnold after appearing to attempt to leave an elbow on the Liverpool fullback in the first-half of action at Anfield.

The pair subsequently faced off before being broken apart by Ibrahima Konate, with referee Paul Tierney deciding to award both players with a yellow card.
