Mikel Arteta faces the media following his Arsenal side’s 1-0 defeat to what could be their main title rivals in Liverpool. A tight game which always looked like it would be separated by a moment of magic, that is exactly what happened.
William Saliba’s injury inside the opening minutes of the game already provided a significant setback to the manager. The Gunners, however, responded positively and ended the half as the better side, certainly with some opportunities to score, but not quite clicking.
Cody Gakpo was adjudged to be in an offside position prior to Hugo Ekitike tapping the ball beyond David Raya. But Dominik Szoboszlai would then produce one of the goals of the season with a free-kick from 32 yards.
