Virgil van Dijk has accepted responsibility for Arsenal's second goal as they went on to beat Liverpool 3-1 in a crucial game at the top of the Premier League table.

Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard all got on the scoresheet for the Gunners, but it is the Brazilian's 67th-minute goal which got fans and pundits talking.

Fans slammed both van Dijk and Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson for failing to deal with a ball, letting it bounce, and gifting Martinelli the opportunity to regain Arsenal's lead in the match from 18 yards.
