Alexander-Arnold and Cancelo, for their part, made crucial passes, while Scotland international Robertson also played a crucial role in settling Liverpool at the start of the first half.
Meanwhile, an underappreciated Walker continues to excel on both sides of the ball, amid a real show of the rising importance of the elite full-back as part of the modern game.
