Reflecting on his side’s first Premier League defeat since November, Arteta said: “Very disappointed, obviously very angry as well.
Mikel Arteta said he hopes his Arsenal players “suffer” for the rest of the weekend after a performance that left him “very, very angry”.
The Gunners knew a win would cut Liverpool’s lead at the top of the Premier League table to five points but they were beaten by Jarrod Bowen’s first-half strike.
Liverpool could stretch their lead over Arsenal to 11 points on Sunday if they win at the Etihad in a crucial match against Manchester City.
With no fit strikers, Arteta played Mikel Merino up front as a makeshift striker after the Spaniard having scored twice off the bench against Leicester last weekend.
