“Why We Lost Against Arsenal” – Jurgen Klopp

Jurgen Klopp, the manager of Liverpool, has explained why his team lost against Arsenal at the Emirates.

According to Jurgen Klopp, “a couple of things went against us” in their 3-2 loss on Sunday.

After 75 seconds, Gabriel Martinelli converted Martin Odegaard’s pass to give the Reds the lead.

Bukayo Saka scored the Gunners’ winning goal with the final kick of the half after Darwin Nunez had tied the score at 1-1.

Despite Roberto Firmino’s late comeback, Saka’s penalty gave Mikel Arteta’s team the victory.

Klopp speaking to BBC Sports said, “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.”

Liverpool are 10th on the table, leaving them 14 points behind Arsenal, the league’s leading team, with Manchester City as the second, 1 point behind.
