Arsenal have been eliminated out of the FA Cup following their 2-0 loss to Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday night.
The Gunners were looking for their first win in 2024 and have better chances but struggled in front of goal as calls by fans for the club to buy a striker in January continued.
Martin Odegaard’s shot rattled the crossbar, while Reiss Nelson and Kai Havertz were also guilty of missed opportunities as the visitors, who hit the woodwork themselves through Trent Alexander-Arnold, got in at the break level.
Frustration was building and building at the Emirates and as Klopp turned to his bench with Diogo Jota and Ryan Gravenberch introduced, Arteta turned to Gabriel Martinelli. His entrance injected renewed hope for the frustrated Arsenal supporters, but it was Liverpool who looked the more likely to go on and win the game.
The Reds had grown into the game and it was a much more even contest in the second half which saw the visitors take the lead ten minutes from time. Defender Jakub Kiwior diverted the ball past Aaron Ramsdale and into his own net before Luiz Diaz’s injury-time strike (90+5) sent the Gunners crashing out of the FA Cup with a third straight defeat in all competitions.
