By defeating 14-time FA Cup winners Arsenal 2-0, Jurgen Klopp’s squad guaranteed their place in the quarterfinals.
Even though the Gunners had plenty of scoring opportunities, Liverpool eventually scored in the waning moments of the second half.
After a corner kιck by Trent Alexander-Arnold, Arsenal defender Jakub Kiwior headed the ball into the goal.
It caused the traveling Liverpool fans behind the goal to burst into jubilation, with one supporter getting really involved.
A supporter even made it onto the field to celebrate with the players.
As a team, they gathered in a massive huddle after initially embracing Alexander-Arnold and Luis Diaz.
On top of everything, Nunez began slamming the fan’s head repeatedly before raising his fist in the air.
Subsequently, Konate replicated the action, striking the fan on the head before removing his beanie and depositing it in the away end.
The joy on the faces of the Liverpool players was palpable as they scored, and the situation only improved as time ran out.
They countered quickly and Diaz was there to score an impressive goal by firing a ball into the top right corner.
On Monday night, Liverpool will be drawn for the FA Cup’s fourth round.
Along with that, Klopp’s squad has won four of their previous five matches in all competitions, whereas Arsenal’s run is somewhat worse.
The Gunners have dropped their last three games and won only once in their last seven games, despite having numerous opportunities to win.
Jurgen Klopp baffled as journalist asks if Liverpool will sign Jordan Henderson
After a disappointing first half, the Reds stunneԀ the Gunners in the third round of the FA Cup at the Emirates, and the manager had good reason to be proud of his team’s performance.
Notwithstanding this, his ex-captain was nevertheless subject to some strange interrogation, as he has been in the news this week due to rumors that he is “eager” to play in the Premier League again.
As expected, the manager was dismissive when asked about the veracity of rumors that Henderson could return to Anfield, even if it’s quite unlikely.
In a press conference, did Hendo sаy that or what?, the boss wаnted to know.
Even after it was revealed that the rumors were just supposition, Klopp kept his lighthearted tone when discussing the subject.
“Oh my, it’s written!” So, it doesn’t exist in my view.
His phone didn’t ring! While we did talk, it was unrelated to it. I don’t really have anything to sаy about that.
It would have been foolish to anticipate any different reaction from the manager considering Liverpool’s transformed midfield, but considering the circumstances, it is odd to question a player’s return following a great win.
On Sunday, May 28, 2023, in Southampton, England, Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson (right) and manager Jürgen Klopp were seen leaving St. Mary’s Stadium following their FA Premier League match with Southampton FC. A 4-4 tie was the final score. (Propaganda photo by David Rawcliffe)After Henderson’s departure, Fabinho followed the former captain to the Saudi Pro League, marking the beginning of a complete rebuild in that area of the field.
Since the summer’s reversal of fortunes including Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai, Wataru Endo, and Ryan Gravenberch, the Reds have been on a tear.
It would be foolish for the 33-year-old to return to his 12-year role as captain and servant to the club now that Liverpool has progressed so far.
We can put a stop to any speculation about Henderson’s return to the Reds, but if he gets his desire and returns to England, we might see him at Anfield in a different shirt.
