Piers Morgan has told Arsenal fans to “temper their irrational over-excitement” about the job Mikel Arteta is doing at the club following the 2-0 defeat to Liverpool.
The Gunners came into Wednesday night’s clash on the back of five Premier League wins on the spin, a run of form which has put them in the driving seat of the race for a top-four finish. But goals from Diogo Jota and Roberto Firmino earned the Reds a vital victory to boost their own hopes of wresting the Premier League title from Manchester City.
Even with the defeat, Arsenal remain in fourth place, a point ahead of fifth-placed Manchester United, having played two games fewer. But the loss served as yet another example of Arteta’s side falling short against the league’s best.
