Liverpool News: Jurgen Klopp makes "wild" Liverpool admission after dramatic ending vs Arsenal

In Liverpool news, Jurgen Klopp admitted that Liverpool's chaotic 2-2 draw with Arsenal summed up their topsy-turvy season in the aftermath of an enthralling clash at Anfield.

The Reds were up against it in the early stages of the match and Klopp could only watch on in horror from the sidelines as the Premier League leaders surged into a 2-0 lead courtesy of goals from Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Jesus.

But a flare-up between Trent Alexander-Arnold and Granit Xhaka sparked Anfield to life with Mohamed Salah scoring shortly after to set up a huge second-half. And although the Egyptian forward missed a penalty shortly after the break, substitute Roberto Firmino popped up with an 87th minute equaliser to salvage a point for the hosts, who played significantly better in the second-half.

Liverpool almost stole the points late on, too, only for Aaron Ramsdale to somehow thwart Salah and Ibrahima Konate with two remarkable saves.

Klopp admitted that he had mixed emotions after a frenetic second-half - but was adamant that the point was a better result for Arsenal rather than his own side, who are still eighth in the Premier League and 12 points off the top-four.

He told Sky Sports: "A bit typical for us this season. An open game, completely open, they score with the first situation and the second one. Our reaction was good. It was a spectacular game in the end. How we didn't win it with those late chances I don't know.

"I'm caught in between . I have no problems with drawing. Arsenal were good but they could and should have lost this game. The point for them is better.

"We had moments and chances where we didn't finish the situations off. Slightly typical. They're flying so they score with their first chance. The goal we scored helped massively. At half-time it wasn't over. It was a sensational atmosphere. Good moment to get the equaliser.

"All of a sudden we were in charge of a wild game. We deserved at least a point. If Ibou uses his head it's a goal. Maybe he slipped. He had a chance, it was just there."

in other Liverpool news, Klopp was also asked for his thoughts on an incident involving defender Andy Robertson and assistant referee Constantine Hatzidakis, with the Scotland international claiming that the official had elbowed him in the throat as the players headed back in at half-time.

But the German was reluctant to be drawn on the incident, insisting that he hasn't watched it back. He added: "Nothing. I know it happened but I didn't watch it. If it happened the pictures will speak for themselves."
