Arsenal’s first-half showing against Liverpool offered little to commend, but the officiating was arguably even worse. Referee Anthony Taylor failed to call a foul when Liverpool’s Andrew Robertson was seen grabbing Bukayo Saka by the neck.
To make matters worse, moments later, Robertson delivered a cross that led to Cody Gakpo’s opening goal. Arsenal barely had time to regroup before Luis Díaz added a second for Liverpool just a minute later.
Arsenal fans were left shocked by the quick double strike, with some calling for the team to show more pride.
