Michael Steele/Getty Images Liverpool legend John Aldridge has taken aim at the Arsenal players and the way they go to ground during games, following the Gunners’ 1-0 win at Anfield on Sunday. Liverpool had a remarkable 18 fouls given against them during the course of the Premier League clash, to Arsenal’s ten, while a total of four yellow cards were handed out to the Reds, as opposed to four for the Gunners.

Towards the closing stages of the encounter, Arsenal’s Noni Madueke went to ground and it prompted a furious response from Aldridge. Bemoaning that no foul had been committed, the former striker claimed that Arsenal are forever going to ground and referees are falling for it.

That’s not a foul.” Arsenal have regularly come in for criticism for winning fouls by going to ground easily and the clash at Anfield will do little to change that opinion. Arsenal are in action the same night, away at Slavia Prague.
