The leaders of the English Premier League, Liverpool, suffered a 1-3 defeat away to Arsenal in London on Sunday.

The turning point of the match came in the 67th minute when Gabriel Martinelli scored a goal after a rough collective mistake from Virgil van Dijk and Alisson.

After the match, Liverpool captain V. van Dijk took responsibility for the conceded goal.

"A painful loss. I have to take full responsibility for the missed second goal.

It was a crucial moment in the match. I should have made a better decision and I am very hurt by it.

"Such mistakes don't happen often in my career and I will do everything to make sure it doesn't happen again," Van Dijk told Sky Sports.
