THE ATHLETIC
About this episode

Join James Pearce with analysis and reaction from Liverpool's 3-1 defeat to Arsenal as their lead at the top of the Premier League was cut to just two points.

The Reds suffered just their second defeat of the Premier League season as Virgil van Dijk had a day to forget in North London, being involved in a mix-up with Alisson Becker to present Gabriel Martinelli the opportunity to put Arsenal 2-1 ahead prior to Ibrahima Konate being sent-off late on with Leandro Trossard inflicting further insult in stoppage time.

As well as James' analysis from the Emirates listen in for the best from Jurgen Klopp's press conference and The Athletic's data analyst Mark Carey also drops in to share his thoughts on the performance.
