Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta says the intensity of their pressing was key to defeating Liverpool last night.
Arteta underlined his delight at how their high press forced Liverpool into two key mistakes.
The first saw Reiss Nelson pressure Virgil van Dijk which saw Alex Lacazette take advantage. Then on a loose clearance by Allison to score the second.
"It's our way," Arteta told Arsenal Digital. "You can see how they go into every duel, into every action, how intense they are, everybody's willing to do that and if you press the pass you'll force mistakes from the opponent.
"I am extremely happy. Mostly for the players because it was a big blow when we lost against Spurs, the way we played. But today they came back again.
"We beat the champions of the Premier League and the champions of the Champions League and you know how dominant they are. They control every aspect of the game. It's not a coincidence what they're doing so I am extremely happy.
"[Liverpool] are probably the best team at forcing mistakes and errors the way they play, the way they push you around and the way they always in between you... we did really well and I'm pleased. It's great to have the points."
