Arsenal’s January transfer window has taken on additional urgency following a 2-0 FA Cup defeat to Liverpool.

Despite dominating possession and shots, the Gunners were eliminated in the third round in front of their own fans.

Their chances were thwarted, however, as they were defeated by Bukayo Saka and Kai Havertz, who both left their shooting boots at home.

Watching the match from the stands, Gunners legend and deadly striker Ian Wright summed up the mood perfectly.

“We need a killer,” the former marksman wrote during the game, and the following 45 minutes proved him right as Jakub Kiwior’s own-goal and a stoppage-time strike by Luis Diaz sent the Gunners crashing out.

Despite numerous chances for both sides, the game remained scoreless until the 80th minute.

Havertz and Saka both squandered great chances when crosses fell to them in the box, while shots they created for themselves outside the box were easily dealt with by Alisson Becker.

Arsenal would have had plenty of hope for the second period after finishing the first 45 minutes with 13 shots to Liverpool’s two, but that all drained away as more chances went begging.
