ARTETA LEFT IN A DIAZ

Klopp stars stun goal-shy Gunners

- JOHN CROSS

JURGEN KLOPP certainly did not celebrate like a manager who is not interested in the FA Cup.

In fact, Liverpool boss Klopp wheeled away in delight, fist-pumped, and the away end went wild after a third-round tie which felt like a snapshot of the whole season.

Arsenal started well, missed loads of chances the whole world can see they need a center-forward and allowed Liverpool to punish their wastefulness.

It was hardly a classic for a bumper BBC audience but at least we got a winner and Arsenal only have themselves to blame that it was not them.

Liverpool, meanwhile, are proving that when you are winning a congested fixture list does not matter because you are riding the crest of the wave.

Klopp's men are top of the Premier League, their winter break is interrupted by a two-legged Carabao Cup semi-final and are now into the fourth round of the FA Cup.
