The Reds dominated the early exchanges of the sport at Anfield.
But it was Arsenal who took the lead within the sixteenth minute, with Kai Havertz ending off a high quality staff transfer.
Although Liverpool fought to at the very least equalise, the Gunners remained resolute and took all three factors.
Iraola, talking to BBC Radio 5 Live, mentioned: “Disappointing for us. We definitely deserved to score but weren’t able. We regret the first 15 minutes until we conceded the goal but I loved after. We changed a little bit by being more brave and aggressive and we put them under pressure. We had some chances that we haven’t finished properly. Also, they have been good defensively.”
