Jamie Carragher slams 'idiotic' Arsenal moment in 2-2 draw with Liverpool

Jamie Carragher has insisted the incident between Granit Xhaka and Trent Alexander-Arnold played a part in the turn of momentum in Arsenal's 2-2 draw at Liverpool.

The clash came with the Gunners 2-0 up after goals from Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Jesus. Xhaka seemed to react to not being rewarded a free-kick by chasing down the defender before lashing out at the England international.

Alexander-Arnold reacted to Xhaka's initial contact by pushing the Arsenal midfielder before the two squared up to each other. Referee Paul Tierney showed both players a yellow card before Mohamed Salah halved the deficit a minute later.
