It was the ease in which Diogo Jota breached the Arsenal defence that will concern Gunners boss Mikel Arteta. Two similar goals from the same player against Arteta’s first choice defence, although it must be said that Arsenal’s midfield struggled to take charge of the match from the get go.
Jota has scored six goals in his last five appearances against Arsenal. He's scored seven in total against the Gunners - more than against any other opponent, and he sealed Liverpool’s passage into the Carabao Cup final at Wembley in sublime style.
Thomas Partey had only been in London for six hours after touching down from Ghana yet his late substitute appearance may cost Arsenal a crucial three points when they face Burnley on Sunday. A red card for the Ghanaian means he will miss the game at Emirates Stadium, as will Granit Xhaka who is serving the second match of his two-game suspension.
