But Arsenal kept going and after Gabriel Martinelli capitalised on a mistake from Virgil van Dijk, the Gunners put the game to bed with a third goal from Leandro Trossard.
And speaking on his latest Seaman Says podcast tonight, former Gunner David Seaman has said that the Arsenal boss deserves huge credit for selecting Jorginho in midfield.
Speaking on Seaman Says, the former England goalie credited with Arteta for what he called a ‘masterstroke’ in picking Jorginho.
“It was brilliant and you’ve got to give Arteta credit too for the team selection he put out. Putting Jorginho in there with Declan Rice I thought it was a masterstroke. He knew that Liverpool were going to be strong in there and he set up and Arsenal won that battle. The way they started was brilliant,” Seaman said.
