Footbal news - Unai Emery: Liverpool defeat a 'bad result'

The result saw Liverpool move into a nine-point lead at the top of the Premier League table over second-placed Tottenham.

Arsenal remain in fifth place, six points ahead of Manchester United who have a game in hand to play against Bournemouth on Sunday afternoon.

Emery told BT Sport: "I think we started well with the first goal and then they had the difference with attacking moments, determination and quality. We couldn't stop this moment.

"The second half we wanted to little by little impose ourselves to find one goal but another penalty closed the match."

While disappointed in the result, Emery called on his players to use the defeat to improve:

"[It is a] bad result. This loss we can use to be better.

"We know we need to defensively get better. Liverpool have progressed a lot and it is an example for us. We need to do this progress."
