Trent Alexander-Arnold’s dream debut for Real Madrid was tempered by frustration as Al Hilal denied them victory in their Club World Cup opener.

The former Liverpool defender was included in the starting line-up at Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium along with Dean Huijsen – a summer signing from Bournemouth – but they and their team-mates had to settle for a 1-1 draw.
