15-Second Brief
Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker made a costly error in the home match against Arsenal, gifting the ball to the opposition, leading to Kai Havertz's quick goal. Andoni Iraola's team is trying to respond.

Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker found himself in the spotlight due to a glaring error in the match against Arsenal at Anfield.

Under pressure, the Brazilian made a pass into empty space. Defender Jeremy Jaque was too far away and failed to reach the ball. The visitors immediately capitalised on the opportunity: Declan Rice crossed into the box, and Kai Havertz put Mikel Arteta's team ahead.

 

 

Former player Steven Warnock harshly evaluated the incident on BBC Radio 5 Live.

A catastrophe for Liverpool and a disaster from Alisson. He makes a terrible mistake trying to clear the ball. It invites Arsenal in and allows them to pounce on Liverpool. There is still a lot of work to do since then. They are working down the right flank, and it’s the simplest of finishes for Havertz.

Despite conceding the goal, Andoni Iraola's team did not drop their heads. The players showed excellent response and continued to apply pressure on the opposition's goal in the first half.
