‘We had to dig in’: Arsenal’s Anfield win was performance of champions, says Rice
After Arsenal moved three points clear at the top of the Premier League with a 1-0 win at Liverpool on Super Sunday, Sky Sports pundit Paul Merson says the Gunners' victory showed the sign of champions at Anfield.
Key points
- Liverpool were unhappy at the non-award of a penalty for a Jürrien Timber shirt-pull on Alexander Isak in the 21st minute and it was a day when the Kop fumed about Arsenal’s streetwise tactics, especially how they won free-kicks – albeit their own players were also guilty of going down too easily at times.
- The midfielder set up Kai Havertz for the only goal on 16 minutes but his physicality and reading of the game on the defensive side were arguably more impressive.
Midfielder praises his side’s grit and determination Szoboszlai says there are fine margins between sides Declan Rice says Arsenal are ready for more grinding wins as he hailed the 1-0 success at Liverpool on Sunday as the performance of champions.
