The midfielder had been on the receiving end of a robust challenge from Newcastle United's Joelinton in the dying stages of his team's dismal 2-1 defeat, and his battle-weary state personified an eight-day spell that had left Liverpool both physically and mentally spent. It was a week that had initially promised so much.

Arsenal defender William Saliba has admitted he has "not been so good" this season and said he needs to demand more of himself to help the club win silverware. Saliba and Gabriel Magalhães have been among the best centre-back pairings in the league over the last two years. Last season, the duo formed the heart of the defence that conceded just 29 goals -- the lowest in the league. However, Arsenal have struggled to maintain their high defensive standards this season.

At first, you think you know exactly what is going to happen. Vinicius Jr has picked up the ball down the left, squared up Rayo Vallecano right back Andrei Ratiu. Of course, he's going to cut inside... and unleash. Ratiu certainly thinks this too, but there's little he can do but back up, fall for a shoulder feint and recover, fall for another shoulder feint and recover just enough to force Vinicius' touch wide.
