Liverpool midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has said that he should have scored against Arsenal, as quoted on BBC Sport.

What’s the story?

Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool hammered Arsenal 4-0 at Anfield in the Premier League tonight.

Sadio Mane, Diogo Jota, Mohamed Salah and Takumi Minamino scored the goals for the Reds.

Former Arsenal midfielder Oxlade-Chamberlain started the match and played for 76 minutes.

The 28-year-old, who earns £120,000 per week (Spotrac), did not score.

What Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has said

BBC Sport quotes Oxlaide-Chamberlain as saying: “I should’ve scored to be honest, it was a mishit – there were areas I could’ve been better and would’ve liked to be better.”

How did Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain play?

Oxlade-Chamberlain played well in the middle of the park and drove the Liverpool team forward.

The 28-year-old England international midfielder made some great driving runs and was a problem for the Gunners’ defence throughout his time on the pitch.

The midfielder took three shots but none was on target, had a pass accuracy of 75%, won two headers, took 47 touches, attempted one dribble, made three tackles, one interception and one clearance, and put in two crosses.

It was a very good performance from Oxlade-Chamberlain, and he should be pleased with him.
