‘Luck was on their side, but why are they celebrating as if they’re the ones topping the group?’ Jurgen Klopp faulted Arteta for his celebration yesterday.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has confessed that Arsenal just outperformed his team in one critical area of the game yesterday.

The Gunners eventually defeated Liverpool, scoring twice late on after Virgil van Dijk made a mistake that allowed the home side to grab the lead.

The game was weird in various aspects. Liverpool went into the interval tied at 1-1 with no shots on goal, and both teams were guilty of underperforming in various aspects of the game.

And, speaking to Viaplay after the game, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp conceded his side was second best in one critical aspect of the game.

Jurgen Klopp feels Arsenal was better than Liverpool in a key area.
Speaking about his squad’s performance, Klopp admitted that the Gunners just outperformed his team in terms of opportunities on goal.

“We didn’t play enough football, but we gradually improved our approach to the game. We had a few occasions where we got back into the game after falling behind 1-0. Shots on target are one of those statistics that never lie. We only scored one goal in the first half, which is unusual. In the second, we had one goal and no other. Arsenal clearly outperformed us in that regard. There is no dispute about that.
