EPL: It was a bit strange - Klopp reacts to Liverpool's 3-1 defeat at Arsenal

Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp, had admitted that Arsenal deserves to win their Premier League clash on Sunday.

The Reds were beaten 3-1 at the Emirates, their second defeat of the campaign.

Bukayo Saka opened the scoring for the Gunners, before they conceded an equalizer thanks to a defensive mix-up.

However, in the second half, goals from Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard sealed the win for Arsenal.

Klopp, speaking to Sky Sports, said: "In general we can admit that Arsenal deserves the three points.

"The circumstances were a bit strange. The goal for us was similar to the cup game. In the cup game we had even bigger chances.

"We scored the goal at half-time and having nil shots on target, but a goal is a bit stranger. We had to adapt in a lot of moments today.

"We found our way into the game; we had crosses and situations where it was close and then the second half. But if you cannot keep it open, then Arsenal might become a little nervous.

"The red card did not help, and we had to change what we tried a lot."
