JAKARTA - Liverpool successfully beat Arsenal 3-1 in the Premier League at Anfield, Monday, September 28 local time. However, in that match the Reds fell behind first by Alexandre Lacazette's goal. This goal came after Andy Robertson made a blunder.

The Scottish player intends to clear the ball. However, it turned out to be bait for the French Arsenal striker.

After Roberton's blunder, Liverpool actually performed well. They turned things around and won through goals from Sadio Mane, Robertson and Diogo Jota.

And in some situations the Liverpool defense, especially goalkeeper Alisson Becker, is able to reduce the danger.

After the match in front of reporters, Klopp did not accept that his team's back line was labeled porous.

"I don't see us appearing fragile in defense," said Klopp as reported by Antara.

He admitted that there were one or two situations when Liverpool players' bait was not successful and the ball was taken over by Arsenal. But in general the defense is pretty solid.

"In moments like that, losing the ball, of course, must be improved, but beyond that our defense is very good, because facing Arsenal's quality, it is impossible for your defense to appear optimally for the full 90 minutes," he said.

"Naturally they have opportunities and when that happens you need a good goalkeeper, a defensive line that can block and things like that," said Klopp complemented.

The victory over Arsenal saw Liverpool follow in the footsteps of Everton and Leicester who collected nine full points in a perfect start to the season.

Liverpool moved up to second place, displacing Everton armed with goal aggressiveness even though both of them had a five-plus goal difference.

Furthermore, Liverpool will again host Arsenal at Anfield for the last 16 of the Premier League Cup on Thursday, before visiting Aston Villa's headquarters three days later.
