Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp, has said things didn’t really go according to plan in their defeat to Arsenal.
Liverpool lost 3-2 to Arsenal at the Emirates stadium in a pulsating encounter on Sunday evening.
The Reds went behind after 75 seconds, as Gabriel Martinelli finished off Martin Odegaard’s through pass.
Darwin Nunez restored parity, but Bukayo Saka gave the Gunners the lead with on the stroke of half time.
Although Roberto Firmino pulled one back in the second half, Saka’s penalty won it for Mikel Arteta’s men.
“We created, we were really dangerous, we scored our goal, wonderful goal. Then concede last second of the first half. Obviously we made a mistake, counter attack is the goal.
“We wanted to carry on the good stuff but unfortunately we didn’t do that. We equalised, it was a really open game then. The situation around the penalty of course we should have cleared it.
“Couple of things went against us but we are not blind, we see we could have done better in moments. We caused them a lot of problems but stand here with no points,” Klopp told BBC Sport.
The result means Liverpool are now 14 points behind leaders Arsenal on the table.
Mikel Arteta’s men again climb above Manchester City, one more point above the champions.
