The Reds’ hopes of breaking the Premier League points record have been dashed after errors from Virgil Van Dijk and Alisson Becker gave Arsenal a crucial win in their bid to be in Europe next season.
Sadio Mane put the newly-crowned Premier League Champions ahead just 20 minutes into the game but Alexandre Lacazette pulled parity for the Gunners before youngster Reiss Nelson scored the match-winning goal right before halftime.
Klopp believes lost chances cost his side against Mikel Arteta’s men and slammed Liverpool’s poor defending.
Speaking to Sky Sports after the game, the German coach said; “Twice, a massive lack of concentration, we took a break after 1-0, especially in the first half before the goal, we were just brilliant, we had 24-3 shots, that's incredible but these two moments killed the game for us.”
"Arsenal had no real chances, another shot in the last second, you cannot win football games when you concede goals like this.
"We took a break, that's clear, lost of concentration, it's the Premier League and you cannot do that. Virgil van Dijk lost the ball but I didn't see a lot of offers. Nobody wanted the ball. It makes no sense.”
"We have to learn from that 100%, and we will. I am not sure we never did it all season, we had sloppy moments, once, twice, maybe three times but tonight we got punished from it. It's good on one side because we have to learn from it.
"We were constantly dominant. It was a good game. Arsenal, they were there in two situations, I am not sure they forced them but they were there and they used them."
