Mikel Arteta pinpoints moment Arsenal had to 'kill' off Liverpool as Man City handed title boost

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has pinpointed the key moment where his side should have 'killed' the game against Liverpool at Anfield. The Gunners found themselves 2-0 up inside 30 minutes following strikes from Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Jesus.

The Premier League leaders were pegged back before half-time as Mohammed Salah scored from close range. The Egyptian winger missed a penalty kick after Diogo Jota was fouled in the box by Rob Holding during the second half.

Oleksandr Zinchenko was heavily criticised by Jamie Carragher and Roy Keane for his role in Liverpool's equaliser in the 87th minute. Trent Alexander-Arnold - who was involved in a first half incident with Granit Xhaka - nutmegged Zinchenko before lofting the ball to Roberto Firmino to head home and equalise late in the game.
