Paul Merson took aim at goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale following Arsenal's loss to Liverpool, claiming he 'got lazy' in allowing Diogo Jota’s opener to beat him at the near post.

The Gunners missed out on the chance to strengthen their grip on fourth place as goals from Jota and Roberto Firmino earned Liverpool a vital 2-0 victory. In a game that appeared to be in the balance for the vast majority of the evening, it was the visitors’ clinical edge which ultimately decided the destination of the points.

Martin Odegaard missed a wonderful opportunity to open the scoring, when he was superbly denied by Alisson, before Jota made Arsenal pay with another Emirates strike. After being played in by Thiago Alcantara, the former Wolves striker surprised Ramsdale by shooting early from an acute angle.

In the ascendancy, Firmino then made it two just after the hour mark to end Arsenal’s five-match winning streak and put a dent in their aspirations of securing a return to Champions League football.
