Andy Robertson provides blunt home truth as Liverpool beat Arsenal

Andy Robertson offered a blunt home truth on why a "better" Liverpool were able to beat Arsenal 2-0 and cut Manchester City 's lead at the top of the Premier League table to just one point.

The Reds left-backed provided the assist for Roberto Firmino 's clincher after Diogo Jota had given Liverpool the lead in the 54th minute in a game of two halves. Arsenal had the better first 45 but Mikel Arteta 's men were unable to make their pressure count, as Jurgen Klopp and co stayed patient to pull off a priceless win.

Asked what changed at half-time, Robertson told Sky Sports: "I think we just played a bit better, to be honest. We started the game really well and had a few chances but then they had the better of the first half. They were keeping possession better, winning second balls a wee bit better than us but we knew we were in at half-time at 0-0.
