Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has said their 1-0 defeat at Liverpool on Sunday was decided by “a moment of magic.”
The Gunners lost the top-of-the-table clash to the Premier League champions and now trail by three points after three matches.
Dominik Szoboszlai was the match winner, scoring a sensational free-kick with seven minutes remaining.
Arteta, speaking to Sky Sports, said: “I am very disappointed with the result. I’m very proud of my players.
“Both [sets of] players had to dig in to a level where there was nothing between the two. It was going to be decided by an individual error or a moment of magic.
“You cannot dominate here for 90 minutes, it is impossible. At the end of the game, I said we have to find a way to win these big matches.
“You have to put the ball in the back of the net when you have it. We were much better than last year, much better. We have to put the ball in the back of the net if you want to win the game.
“We lost Martin [Odegaard], we lost Kai [Havertz] and then we lost Bukayo [Saka]. In the warm up, we lost Saliba.”
