Jamie Carragher issues Arsenal verdict after 'absolutely outstanding' Liverpool win

Although Liverpool were the side on top for large periods, they ultimately failed to seriously test Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya as they failed to register a single shot on target despite having 17 attempts.

Reflecting on the game, Carragher heaped praise on the Arsenal rearguard as he pointed out how impressed he has been with Mikel Arteta’s side defensively this season even in the absence of William Saliba.

"No, it was a brilliant game and both teams can take a lot from it,” Carragher said on Sky Sports. “Liverpool played really well.

“They didn't do enough but you are playing against, defensively, the best team in this country, arguably in Europe and that is without the best centre-back in the world in Saliba.

"When you think about Arsenal winning titles, especially in '89 and '91 with Tony Adams and that famous back four, I think we're getting close to putting this back four up against that and in that conversation.

"To come to Anfield and be put under that much pressure and not have a shot on target from the opposition, or Liverpool not to have a big chance given the money they've spent on their attack is absolutely outstanding."
