Fans say ‘can tell he’s been training with Trent’ as Ryan Gravenberch hits ‘most insane pass seen this season’


LIVERPOOL ace Ryan Gravenberch went viral thanks to an “insane” pass while on international duty with the Netherlands.

And many claim this is down to Gravenberch, 22, playing and training with Trent Alexander-Arnold at Anfield.

The midfielder helped the Oranje pick up a 2-2 draw against Germany on Tuesday in the Nations League at the Johan Cruijff ArenA.

But Ronald Koeman’s men came close to another goal on 21 minutes after a lethal counter-attack.

And it was all down to Gravenberch who released Xavi Simons with an outstanding long-range pass from his own half in true TAA style.

Simons then found himself alone in front of Germany goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen but his shot was denied by the Barcelona shot stopper.

But that still allowed Gravenberch to make headlines worldwide thanks to what could have been the most stunning assist of the season.

One fan tweeted: “Ryan Gravenberch giving Trent Alexander-Arnold vibes with that outstanding pass.”

Another commented: “That is the most insane pass I’ve seen this season.”

A third wrote: “Can tell he’s been training with Trent.”

This fan said: “Unbelievable first time pass from Gravie.”

And that one gushed: “RYAN GRAVENBERCH ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND, THAT PASS WAS ABSOLUTELY INSANE.”

‘Good on him’ – Lee Carsley wins the praise of Roy Keane after very frank admission following first two England games

Gravenberch will be in action for Liverpool on Saturday when they host Nottingham Forest in the Premier League.

And the Dutchman will be joined by Alexander-Arnold, who also shone bright during the international break for England.

The versatile full-back particularly stood out against Finland on Tuesday as he put together a man-of-the-match performance thanks to some stunning passing that led to an assist.

England ratings vs Finland: Kane bags double on his big day… but he’s not the Three Lions’ star man

TRENT ALEXANDER-ARNOLD showed his brilliance as Harry Kane’s brace saw England beat Finland.

Interim boss Lee Carsley maintained his 100 per cent win record in charge of England.

SunSports Tom Barclay has given their ratings of the England players…

Jordan Pickford – 6

Had nothing to do.

Trent Alexander-Arnold – STAR MAN 9

England’s best player as he supplied some beautiful balls from deep that on another day would have led to a glut of assists.

He did get one in the end, although that was more thanks to Harry Kane’s lethal finishing.

Ezri Konsa – 6

Showed his ability on the ball with a super ball through for Bukayo Saka on the half hour.

Twisted his ankle early in the second half, surprisingly played on before being replaced on the hour.

John Stones – 6

Played at left-sided centre-back before shifting when Levi Colwill came on.

Solid though not much to deal with. Now 19 short of 100 caps.

Rico Lewis – 7

In the right place to snuff out early danger from ex-Norwich man Teemu Pukki.

Came close to a goal on his second England cap when prodding wide after the break.

Declan Rice – 5

Lost possession to give Finland their one and only big chance which Topi Kesinen should have squared to Pukki, but instead fired wildly over.

Angel Gomes – 7

Wanted the ball from the off, just like Lee Carsley thought he would. Deliciously drilled cross-field ball to Alexander-Arnold early doors showed his range.

Bukayo Saka – 7

Almost scored and almost assisted in a lively display.

Unlucky that Kane was millimetres offside after the centurion had headed home the Arsenal man’s wicked delivery.

Jack Grealish – 7

Enjoyed being in the heart of the action at No10 again, as he did on Saturday against the Republic of Ireland.

Carsley clearly likes him – it will be fascinating to see what happens when Mssrs Bellingham, Foden and Palmer all return.

Anthony Gordon – 7

Caused problems down the left with his rapid pace – how we needed some of that in the Euros.

But did not have on his shooting boots as he fluffed a decent chance early in the second half.

Harry Kane – 8

Two blistering finishes took the centurion to an astonishing 68 goals in 100 caps.

Was denied the chance of a hat-trick in front of his family when subbed off to a standing ovation for the final ten.

Kane said he fancies his chances of reaching a ton of international goals – and it does not seem fanciful.

SUBS

Levi Colwill (on for Konsa, 61) – 6

Next to no threat from Finland by the time he came on.

Eberechi Eze (on for Gordon, 66) – 6

Raced on to yet another special Trent pass but could not loop it over the keeper.

Noni Madueke (on for Saka, 66) – 7

Looked to make an impact every time he got the ball on debut. Excellent one-two with Trent saw the Chelsea man tee up Kane’s second.

Marc Guehi (on for Stones, 80) – 6

As with Colwill, little to do.

Jarrod Bowen (on for Kane, 81) – 6

Played up top after Kane went off for the final minutes, as he has done for West Ham.
