Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp, had admitted that Arsenal deserve to win their Premier League clash on Sunday.

The Reds were beaten 3-1 at the Emirates, their second defeat of the campaign.

Bukayo Saka opened the scoring for the Gunners, before they conceded an equalizer thanks to a defensive mix-up.

However, in the second half, goals from Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard sealed the win for Arsenal.

Klopp, speaking to Sky Sports, said:

“In general we can admit that Arsenal deserve the three points.

“The circumstances were a bit strange. The goal for us was similar to the cup game. In the cup game we had even bigger chances.

“We scored the goal at half-time and having nil shots on target, but a goal is a bit stranger. We had to adapt in a lot of moments today.

“We found our way into the game, we had crosses and situations where it was close and then the second half. But if you cannot keep it open, then Arsenal might become a little nervous.

“The red card did not help and we had to change what we tried a lot.”
