Arsenal title winner Paul Merson branded Aaron Ramsdale as "lazy" after their defeat to Liverpool last night.

Merson was unimpressed by Ramsdale's efforts to stop Diogo Jota's opening goal in Liverpool's victory over Arsenal on Wednesday night.

Arsenal had given a good account of themselves up until the moment Jota was played in on goal in the 54th minute.

The angle was tight but the forward's left footed strike managed to squirm it's way past Ramsdale at his near post.

Merson believes Ramsdale let himself down.

"It is poor defending all round and its poor goalkeeping," Merson told Sky Sports.

"The goalkeeper gets lazy, he thinks it is going to be a cross. You should never ever get beaten at your near post."
