Luis Diaz put the seal on a delightful Liverpool victory with a stoppage time goal to complete a 2-0 defeat of Arsenal in the FA Cup third round this evening.
After a late Jakub Kiwior own goal broke the deadlock, the Gunners poured forward in search of an equaliser to warrant a replay that the Reds would’ve hated.
However, in the fourth minute of stoppage time, the visitors dispossessed their opponents and Darwin Nunez surged forward to instigate a swift counterattack, laying the ball off to Diogo Jota.
The play made its way to Diaz on the right, and the Colombian thumped the ball past the helpless Aaron Ramsdale to settle the matter and send the travelling Liverpool fans into raptures!

OK we do it see for example Liverpool: why do the referees give so few fouls against them when they tackle? but the rest of the media ignore it. Instead, a lot of them take a lot of note of the most hypothetical of all statistics: expected goals . That is not goals that happen, but goals that you might expect to happen.
