Liverpool convincingly beat Arsenal on Saturday evening, but the tables were turned when they visited Real Madrid on Tuesday.

The Reds looked to have found their footing against Arsenal, with Jurgen Klopp’s side essentially giving the Gunners a footballing lesson.

Diogo Jota bagged the first goal before Mohamed Salah scored his 18th league goal of the season.

Jota then added a second, with Liverpool racking up seven shots on target by the end of the match.

The result was so convincing that not one Liverpool defender was dribbled past in the entire 90 minutes.

Fast forward to Tuesday evening, and Liverpool were looking to build upon that performance against Madrid, but that was far from the case.

Zinedine Zidane’s side dominated the game, scoring three goals past an uncomfortable-looking defence and managing seven shots on target.

Considering that the defence was not dribbled past once during the game against Arsenal, it shows how bad the Gunners were on Saturday.

Arsenal fans have been discussing the Liverpool defence on social media, and some have an amusing theory.

Arsenal let Liverpool beat them as an April fools prank to make Liverpool think they were a good team. Brilliant
