Liverpool player ratings vs Arsenal: Ibrahima Konate is proving his class as Trent Alexander-Arnold's delivery makes the difference in battling FA Cup victory

Liverpool piled more misery onto Arsenal and booked their place in the fourth round of the FA Cup after coming out on top in a hotly-contested game in north London on Sunday, winning 2-0 thanks to a Jakub Kiwior own goal and a stoppage-time Luis Diaz strike.

The Gunners dominated the first half, but poor finishing let them down, with Martin Odegaard going closest when he hit the crossbar from close-range. Liverpool, though, almost went into the break ahead as Alexander-Arnold hit the woodwork himself late in the half.

Jurgen Klopp made some tactical tweaks at half-time, and that allowed his side to get more of a foothold in the game, with Luis Diaz forcing Aaron Ramsdale into a good save while substitute Diogo Jota headed against the bar from a corner.

But it was Kiwior who eventually put the ball into his own net, heading Alexander-Arnold's wicked free-kick past Ramsdale with just 10 minutes left on the clock to send the travelling supporters into raptures. And the game was sealed in the final seconds, as Diaz smashed a shot into the top corner at Ramsdale's near post after a sweeping counter-attack.
