As reported by Africa Top Sports.com, Arsenal suffered a humiliating defeat on Liverpool’s turf, with a staggering scoreline of 1-5. It was undoubtedly a dreadful weekend for Arsène Wenger, as the Gunners’ manager grappled not only with the devastating loss but also with a painful fall at Liverpool railway station.
Liverpool’s dominance was evident as they netted four goals within a mere 20 minutes, with goals from M. Skrtel in the 1st and 10th minutes, R. Sterling in the 17th, and D. Sturridge in the 20th. Sterling added another in the 52nd minute, while Arsenal managed a consolation goal through Mr. Arteta in the 69th minute.
Following the match, Arsène Wenger didn’t mince words, admitting, “We were rubbish today, always vulnerable defensively. We were not good, and I am also responsible for that.” He emphasized the need for introspection and improvement in the face of mounting questions.
In contrast, Chelsea’s Eden Hazard stole the spotlight with an outstanding performance, orchestrating a festival of goals as he scored a hat-trick against Newcastle. The video of Hazard’s remarkable display is certainly worth revisiting amidst Arsenal’s woes.
