Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher slam Liverpool defending as Trent Alexander-Arnold point made

Gary Neville has taken aim at Trent Alexander-Arnold for his role in Arsenal's second goal at the Emirates.

The Gunners had taken the lead after just one minute when Martin Odegaard's pass split the Reds defence open, finding Martinelli who had lost the Liverpool right-back. But Darwin Nunez managed to tuck home Luis Diaz' cross and level the scoreline, with the confidence form the equaliser pushing Jurgen Klopp's side into the ascendancy.

But with Arsenal and Mikel Arteta likely happy to go into the break level, Martinelli broke down the right. Despite being covered by Jordan Henderson, Alexander-Arnold was too eager in trying to help the midfielder out, and when the Brazilian cut inside and crossed, Bukayo Saka was completely free to tap home and give his side the lead.
