Jurgen Klopp sends message to Virgil van Dijk and Alisson after errors that led to Arsenal victory

Jurgen Klopp has defended Virgil van Dijk and Alisson Becker are the two were at calamitously at fault in Liverpool’s defeat to Arsenal.

The Gunners reduced Liverpool’s lead at the summit of the Premier League to two points after a 3-1 victory in north London.

A major mix-up at the back saw the visitors wipe out Bukayo Saka’s opener just before half-time with Gabriel bundling the ball into his own net after a mix-up between William Saliba and David Raya.

But Liverpool produced a calamity of their own to hand Arsenal back the lead with van Dijk and Alisson both failing to deal with a long ball over the top, allowing Gabriel Martinelli top tap home into an empty net.
