Here is what Liverpool boss said on Arsenal draw

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has accepted the draw at Arsenal and further urged the team to move on.

Klopp saw his side take the lead and concede in the last minute as Alexander Lacazette superbly fired past Alisson to earn both teams a point from the 1-1 result.

Klopp said the point gained from an improved Arsenal is better despite feeling that they were wrongly denied a goal through a questionable offside rule. Sadio Mane was flagged offside as Roberto Firmino scored in the first half although the Senegalese forward appeared not to be on no man’s land.

James Milner was the visitors’ scorer at the Emirates.

“It was very intense, Arsenal is in a very good moment. A point at Arsenal will always be a good result, so we take that and move on. I think it was a goal, it should have been a goal. He runs to the ball because he doesn’t think he is offside and then the referee whistles,” Klopp explained.

“A point is a good result – Unai Emery can say the same, but we had clear chances. When Arsenal chase the game they throw everyone on the pitch which is really cool and we were not as compact as I wanted. Our workhorses in midfield, we put too much on their shoulders. And it was one time we didn’t close Alex Iwobi and he plays the pass for the goal,” he added.

Liverpool still tops the table temporarily awaiting Manchester City’s tie against Southampton.
