It's the Gary Neville podcast this Sunday evening. Welcome to the Emirates Stadium where Arsenal

have just twisted up the title race, Gary, with in many ways an extraordinary game,

extraordinary for several reasons. Maybe Liverpool were pale, certainly two or three of the goals were

weird. What did you make of the whole thing? Yeah, I think that before the game, we

highlighted Selyber and Virgil Van Dyck and I pointed out that they were the best

defences in the league. They were the best two centrebacks in the league. Virgil Van Dyke

had a very difficult day here today. It's been so unlike him and you're right, the goals

were obviously fundamental, fundamental in any game, but the mistakes.

The first goal, the way in which Van Dyck got drawn into midfield and the gap between him and Canarte became sort of huge.

They got back in it with a mistake from Sileba, the other great centre half in the league this season.

And you couldn't believe it at a half time that it was one one because Arsenal was so dominant in that first

half but then that second goal the game was pretty even I would say around that point just a

hopeful ball over the top and when goalkeeper and centreback or defender converge on one another

and it's not absolutely certain which one's going to take it you always end up or you can end up in a

right mess and Liverpool did and from that moment on it became obviously Arsenal give Arsenal deserved it

overall Liverpool haven't played here today anywhere near and I said at the end I don't like saying this

because you can't say it about a Yergen Klopp team or this Liverpool team for the last seven or eight

nine years they always want to win they're always desperate to win Arsenal, it just felt like today there was more on the game for them. They

couldn't go eight points behind. It would have just completely demoralised them and I think

finished their season, been a hammer blow for them in terms of being in the title race. And the

atmosphere in here was intense. It was, I won't say it was volatile,

but it was intense before the game.
