Liverpool’s London woes continue.
The Merseysiders poor run against Arsenal at the Emirates goes on and their hopes of a return to the Champions League may now be dashed after today’s 4-1 loss.
Arsenal blitzed Liverpool in the first-half, scoring three goals in eight frantic minutes and holding on for a valuable win. A tame Jordan Henderson penalty never looked like sparking Brendan Rodgers side back into the game, Emre Can’s sending-off, and Giroud’s cracking finish, compounded an awful day for Liverpool.
