Speaking after the game, Liverpool captain Virgil Van Djik insisted it was a fair result: “Man City lost here, and they won the league… I’ve read so many things that Arsenal are out of the title race if they lose.” “We’re in the business where you can be on top one week and then not… Just enjoy the ride.” He said.
