Liverpool were guilty of a “criminal” lack of game management during their chastening defeat by Arsenal on Sunday, according to Jamie Carragher.
The Reds were beaten 3-2 by Mikel Arteta’s side at the Emirates Stadium in a game bursting with incidents. And while much of the debate has centred around the officiating, with Bukayo Saka’s decisive penalty and the non-awarding of a spot-kick for a Gabriel handball infuriating Jurgen Klopp, Carragher preferred to focus on Liverpool ’s shortcomings.
Arsenal opened the scoring inside the first minute through Gabriel Martinelli before Darwin Nunez grabbed an equaliser. But rather than going in at half-time with the score at 1-1, Liverpool contrived to concede another goal.
