Liverpool fans react as Naby Keita is left on the bench against Arsenal

Liverpool saw their hopes of a record points total in the Premier League evaporate after a 2-1 defeat to Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.

Sadio Mane did set Liverpool on their way but goals from Alexandre Lacazette and Reiss Nelson saw the Gunners home before the break.

It was two rare mistakes that gifted Mikel Arteta’s team victory, with Virgil van Dijk and Alisson Becker enduring rare moments of madness.

Liverpool fans will be delighted to see their team finally lift the Premier League crown at the weekend and will now hope to focus on next season.

In truth, the Reds haven’t been great since the restart and this was another lackadaisical performance from Liverpool.

One thing that did get supporters talking was the omission of Naby Keita who was once again forced to settle for a place on the bench.twitter.com/don_wanye/status/1283515677395959809

Former Arsenal man Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain got the nod to start ahead of him; with many fans fearing Keita isn’t overly fancied.

The 25-year-old was brilliant at Brighton a couple of weeks ago but hasn’t been called upon to start a game since.

That’s something of a mystery to some supporters and following the game, we looked at what they were saying regarding the Guinean international.
