Arteta expresses appreciation in Arsenal’s performance against Liverpool despite defeat

Arsenal’s winning run came to an end this evening as they were beaten 2-0 by title chasing Liverpool in an entertaining clash in North London

It was a meeting of two of the Premier League’s in-form teams, with Arsenal having won their previous five games in the division and Liverpool having won all eight heading into Thursday evening’s heavyweight showdown.

It was a thrilling start to the game, with both teams rushing to close each other down all across the field. The Emirates fans was boosted by their team’s tenacity, even though neither side created many clear-cut chances in the first half, with the first shot on goal coming in the second minute, when a Virgil van Dijk header from a corner was neatly palmed away by Aaron Ramsdale.

Arteta exclaimed the following post the game: “They had two big chances and scored. We didn’t. For the rest, we went toe-to-toe with one of the best teams in the league right now.”

“Everything. It was everything we talked about, the quality of it, the mentality, the intensity and the courage. Unfortunately, the result did not agree with the performance.”

“I want to win every football game but I am very proud of the boys and the performance and the connection with the fans, they stayed with the players until the end.”
