Liverpool fullback Alexander-Arnold on Arsenal draw: It was intense! Xhaka row...?

Liverpool fullback Trent Alexander-Arnold says they deserved their point against Arsenal.

The Reds fought from 2-0 down to earn a 2-2 draw.

Alexander-Arnold said, "Intense. Very good game of football. Both sides played great football at times. We didn't start like we wanted to but we showed character. We had a huge chance to win it at the end but we'll take a point.

"We lacked intensity and weren't compact enough as a team [at the start]. Towards the end of the first half we started playing the way we wanted to and definitely in the second half. Against a team like that you'll get punished for not starting quickly enough."

On his clash with Granit Xhaka, he added: "I think a little bit of fire in a game like that there's nothing wrong with it. He nudged me off the ball so it's a natural reaction to do it back. It got the crowd going.

"Every game we want three points. Disappointed to not get it today but there are lessons in there."
