Summary

Amy Lawrence and Adrian Clarke join Ian Stone to reflect on Arsenal's 2-2 comeback at Anfield, after being 2-0 down at half time.

Despite turning the game around, Mikel Arteta was seething at full time. The panel discuss the manager's comments, after what has been an emotional week for everyone involved at the club. Unlike the Arsenal of old, the second half performance was a reminder of the character and resilience within this current side.

Plus Trent Alexander-Arnold booed, Alessia Russo wins WFA player of the year, and the missing piece to Arteta's Arsenal.

Produced by Jay Beale.
