FA Cup: Keown blames three Arsenal players for 2-0 defeat to Liverpool

Arsenal legend, Martin Keown, has blamed three players for Liverpool’s opening goal at the Emirates on Sunday.

The Gunners lost 2-0 to the Reds in a FA Cup third round fixture, thanks to an own goal from Jakub Kiwior and a late strike from Luis Diaz.

Kiwior got the last touch off Trent Alexander-Arnold’s cross, glancing a header past his own goalkeeper.

Keown also questioned the role of centre-half Gabriel Magalhães in the goal, also believing goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale was “too slow” to move off his line.

He told BBC One: “I just wondered if Gabriel could have headed it the other way, he seemed to just collapse.

“The goalkeeper can’t get to it, Ramsdale is late to move off. Kiowor, I feel he should be doing a lot better.

“Of course he is not doing that deliberately. But there is always something you can do to improve that.”
