Virgil van Dijk has claimed responsibility for costing Liverpool in the 3-1 loss to Arsenal.<\/p>\n
The Reds skipper made an error leading to the Gunners\u2019 second goal in the match and has vowed to improve going forward.<\/p>\n
He said: \u201cThe 2-1, I take full responsibility for, but that\u2019s a big turning point in the game.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI should have done better, should have made a better decision there and it hurts. It hurts for me and obviously the rest of the team.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThese things don\u2019t happen too many times in my career and it\u2019s a tough one but I will recover from this because I will learn from things that don\u2019t go well.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBefore that, especially after the break, we were so good, we had opportunities, we were dominant. The atmosphere started to become more nervous.\u201d<\/p>\n
Head coach Jurgen Klopp agreed with his skipper\u2019s assessment and expressed his frustrations over the quality of officiating in the match.<\/p>\n
Ibrahima Konate saw red late on for a second bookable office but the German tactician believes more than one Arsenal player should have suffered the same fate.<\/p>\n
He said: \u201cIn general it was not our day I think, we can admit that.<\/p>\n
\u201cArsenal deserved the three points, even when the circumstances were obviously a bit strange.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cA lot of things came together in one game. We didn\u2019t play enough football or use Trent [Alexander-Arnold] in the way we wanted to.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not over the moon but it\u2019s what it is, that\u2019s life. You take that and work with it. We should have played better but everything went against us.\u201d<\/p>\n
