IT’S WAS A bleak first-half at Anfield if you were an Arsenal fan as Liverpool ran riot. Jurgen Klopp’s side were in complete control and led 2-0 thanks to goals from Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane.
And it could’ve been a lot worse.
Arsene Wenger’s side didn’t lay a glove on their opponents and their performance in the opening period was wildly ridiculed by fans and analysts alike.
