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.

Co-commentating on Sky’s live coverage of the game, Gary Neville grew increasingly irritated by the Gunners as the half wore on and, particularly, the attitude of the players.
