Arteta can take inspiration from George Graham to expunge painful Anfield memories

Andoni Iraola’s team have shot up the table after a slow start but they are still not scoring enough goals By WhoScored Every Liverpool win this season seems to come with an asterisk. Yes, they beat Brentford, but Brentford had a man sent off. Yes they beat Villarreal, but they conceded three. On Sunday, against Brighton the asterisks finally ran out.

Ryan Rickelton and Wiaan Mulder made fine centuries as South Africa fought back to set up a fascinating final day 52nd over: South Africa 151-4 (Breetzke 23, Rickelton 15) There they go! Rickelton gets a ball from Lyon that is not exactly short, but the batter gets back and leans away to make the length and the width he wants, cuts behind point for four. One good partnership and this could very much be South Africa’s day. “Morning Geoff. Fire up the CRUCIAL FIRST SESSION machine, this really wil
