Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain looked to get over the disappointment of Sunday's Merseyside derby draw with Everton as the Liverpool star was pictured out with girlfriend, Perrie Edwards.

The Little Mix star shared a loved-up image of the pair on Instagram - revealing her new nickname for the £40million Anfield ace: 'Squishy'.

In a reference to the popular Disney Pixar movie 'Finding Nemo', the pop sensation accompanied a picture of her kissing the England international on the cheek with a caption: "I shall call him SQUISHY and he shall be MINE and he shall be MY squishy!"

Oxlade-Chamberlain admitted his disappointment after Wayne Rooney's penalty ensured Everton escaped Anfield with a share of the spoils last Sunday.

The 24-year-old, who signed for the club last summer from Arsenal, thanked the Liverpool fans for their support as he wrote on Twitter: "Gutted not to get all 3 points today in my first Merseyside derby. We deserved more. The support was amazing #YNWA".

Off the field, Oxlade-Chamberlain has been dating Perrie Edwards since January.

Edwards, also 24 but based in London, told The Mirror that there were no issues with 'long-distance' dating with Oxlade-Chamberlain now based in Liverpool.

"I don’t think it will be difficult. It’s going to be different – but that’s not a problem," she said.

“We’ll be fine. I’m just really happy for him and very proud.

“I’m based in London, so I’ve got no plans to move up there.”
