Virgil van Dijk has claimed responsibility for costing Liverpool in the 3-1 loss to Arsenal. The Reds skipper made an error leading to the Gunners' second goal in the match and has vowed to improve going forward. He said: "The 2-1, I take full responsibility for, but that's a big turning point in the game.  "I should have done better, should have made a better decision there and it hurts. It hurts for me and obviously the rest of the team.  "These things don't happen too many times in my career and it's a tough one but I will recover from this because I will learn from things that don't go well.  "Before that, especially after the break, we were so good, we had opportunities, we were dominant. The atmosphere started to become more nervous." Head coach Jurgen Klopp agreed with his skipper's assessment and expressed his frustrations over the quality of officiating in the match. Ibrahima Konate saw red late on for a second bookable office but the German tactician believes more than one Arsenal player should have suffered the same fate. He said: "In general it was not our day I think, we can admit that. "Arsenal deserved the three points, even when the circumstances were obviously a bit strange.  "A lot of things came together in one game. We didn't play enough football or use Trent [Alexander-Arnold] in the way we wanted to.  "I'm not over the moon but it's what it is, that's life. You take that and work with it. We should have played better but everything went against us."
