Luke Chambers 'lost for words' after Liverpool debut as Trent Alexander-Arnold praises 'outstanding' teenager

Luke Chambers has said he fulfilled a dream by making his Liverpool debut in the win over Toulouse in the UEFA Europa League.

Reds boss Jurgen Klopp elected to hand the 19-year-old his Liverpool bow on a European night at Anfield.

Chambers played 67 minutes at left-back in the 5-1 win, and was delighted to tick off a lifelong dream.

“It is unbelievable,” Chambers told TNT Sports. “I have dreamt of this moment since I was six years old. To top it off with a win, I am lost for words.

“I loved every minute of it.”

Trent Alexander-Arnold captained Liverpool on the night, and the England international recalled his Reds debut seven years ago.

“I saw it was seven years yesterday since it was my debut,” Alexander-Arnold said. “I still know exactly how it feels, that excitement you work so hard for.

“He has put in all the hard work; he has shown himself. He has been outstanding, he has been in and around the team, on and off the pitch.

“He plays amazing football as well, so it is amazing to see him out there. He has great potential.”

Reflecting on the words of praise from his captain, Chambers said: "I have come through the academy. Watching Trent come through it gives us academy lads a stepping stone to try and recreate it.”
