“But credit to the players, they stepped up again. You could say we caught Arsenal at a good time, but they’re still a good side with top players, and we had to play well to beat them,” Aldridge was quoted as saying by the Liverpool Echo.

“We bossed the midfield in the first half – Emre Can did a really good job stopping Olivier Giroud from influencing the game. Can was much better than he has been of late, which was good to see.”

Emre Can’s Liverpool future has been called into doubt as he has under 18 months remaining on his current deal. T
