Arsenal fell to a heavy defeat on Saturday night as they were beaten 3-0 at home by Liverpool in a rather torrid performance.

The Gunners at least managed to get into half time at 0-0, but Liverpool ran riot in the second half to claim a convincing victory at the Emirates Stadium.

Diogo Jota bagged a second half brace, scoring either side of a Mohamed Salah strike to secure a 3-0 win, with Arsenal barely able to lay a glove on the visitors.

They had just 35% of possession, mustered only three shots and tested Alisson just twice in a toothless performance, with a recently-shaky Liverpool defence barely troubled.

Mikel Arteta has to be disappointed with his side’s display, and Dani Ceballos was particularly disappointing alongside Thomas Partey in the heart of midfield.

Fans were so concerned with how Ceballos performed that they now want to see him axed, especially as he will be returning to Real Madrid at the end of the season.

They want to see Miguel Azeez given a chance to shine, suggesting that the 18-year-old can’t be much worse than Ceballos and now deserves a chance to play in the first time, just like other Hale End products like Emile Smith Rowe and Bukayo Saka.

Some believe ‘it’s time’ for Azeez to play, and noted that they aren’t kidding when they say the teenager could offer more than Arteta’s more senior midfield options right now.
