Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has revealed he withdrew Mohamed Salah against Arsenal with his team's defensive requirements in mind.
Last season's top scorer Salah made way midway through the second half at the Emirates Stadium with the scores level at 2-2, with Fabinho replacing the Egyptian international. The substitution didn't pay dividends, though, with a penalty from Bukayo Saka settling the game in Arsenal's favour.
The 3-2 defeat leaves Klopp's team in mid-table, some 14 points adrift of league leaders Arsenal. It was no surprise to see the former Borussia Dortmund boss asked about his changes after the defeat, and he explained what was going through his mind when he made his tweaks.
