LONDON - Liverpool's hopes of setting a new Premier League record points tally came to an end as uncharacteristic errors from Virgil van Dijk and Alisson Becker saw the champions beaten 2-1 at Arsenal.

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta's mind appeared to be already focused on Saturday's FA Cup semi-final against his former side Manchester City as he left top scorer Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang on the bench among five changes from defeat in the north London derby to Spurs. Liverpool deservedly took the lead in the 20th minute with a slick move as Andy Robertson provided his 10th assist in the Premier League this season with a low cross that was met on the stretch by Sadio Mane.

That was only the world's most expensive defender's second error leading to a goal in 88 Premier League games since his £75 million move from Southampton in January 2018. Mohamed Salah had opportunities to move level with Aubameyang on 20 Premier League goals in the chase of Jamie Vardy at the top of the standings for the Golden Boot.
