While the NBA is preparing to make its return, the English Premier League is officially underway. When it comes to English football, Steve Kerr sides with Liverpool. On Wednesday, the Golden State Warriors head coach tuned in for the Reds matchup at Anfield with Crystal Palace.
In the 22nd minute with the score notched at zero, Trent Alexander-Arnold lined up for a free-kick from 25 yards out. With a bevy of Crystal Palace defenders lined up in front of him, Alexander-Arnold blistered a curling shot by Wayne Hennessey into the top-right pocket of the back of the net.
The 21-year-olds thrilling free-kick set the tone for Liverpool’s 4-0 victory at Anfield.

After watching Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson roam the court and launch 3-pointers, it’s safe to say Kerr is a fair judge of what makes a shot entertaining. Kerr went to Twitter to praise the goal. The longtime Liverpool fan called Alexander-Arnold’s strike “nasty.”
