Arsenal just cannot hold on

Arsenal fans will be delighted with the score line after being completely dominated by Liverpool for major parts of the game. In fact, the Gunners had the lowest possession since 2003. It seemed like the boys were suffering from stage flight. Perhaps last encounter’s mauling was still fresh in their minds.

Arsenal looked on course to escape with a lucky win against the 10-man Reds apart from loss of concentration in defending the 95th minute Liverpool’s’ corner. Up to now we have never learnt how to defend corners. Just like we don’t know how to take them.

Both sides could not afford a loss. However, Arsenal might feel lucky or frustrated depending on which side of the coin you look at it. They could have won the game and they could have deservedly lost. None of those happened.
