The German military leader created a funny moment in Liverpool’s 2-2 draw against Arsenal in the 30th round of the Premier League on April 9.
In the 54th minute, Mohamed Salah stepped up to the penalty spot but shot the ball off the post. On the edge of the line, coach Jurgen Klopp turned his back, so he did not see the student kicking.
When the fans cheered, the German military leader thought Salah had scored, so he returned to celebrate. However, Klopp was surprised to see Arsenal enjoying the kick.
Salah missed the penalty, but Liverpool still drew 2-2 thanks to Roberto Firmino’s late goal in the 87th minute. If they had used the opportunity better, “The Kop” could have made a comeback, despite being beaten up. 2-0 lead in less than 30 minutes.
“An interesting game. I also don’t understand why Liverpool only have 1 point with countless good chances. I am stuck between joy and disappointment. The draw is also an acceptable result. With Arsenal, they should have lost. They should be satisfied with a point,” the Liverpool captain said after the match.
The “Gunners” went through the 10th consecutive season without a win at Anfield. Meanwhile, coach Klopp maintains an unbeaten record against Arsenal at home (6 wins, 2 draws). The championship race becomes interesting when the gap between Arsenal and Man City is 6 points.
Man City played less than one game and had a direct confrontation with Arsenal at Etihad on April 27. If they win both the match and Arsenal, the advantage in the championship race will return to teachers and students Pep Guardiola.
