Premier League managerial reaction: "I made 11 mistakes", says Jose Mourinho

Arsenal 2-0 Liverpool

Aaron Ramsey scores Arsenal’s second on the night

Arsene Wenger: “It was a convincing win against a good team, and that’s what we wanted. Of course everybody was waiting to see how we responded today, and we did that in a very positive manner. We got a good goal, and after that I felt we had many opportunities to make the difference and then Ramsey scored a stunning goal, but we had chances before and after.”

“It’s positive and nice but of course it’s very early in the season. It’s good for the confidence of the team and for the ambition as well. Hopefully it gets everybody around the team to support us and continue to do that.”

Brendan Rodgers: “I thought the best team won. Their mobility and passing was better than ours and we could’ve done better with the two goals. We kept going all night, the players have been brilliant in their application. They went right to the end. We created chances, we just couldn’t put the ball in the net.

“I think what we can see is my players have been brilliant in this opening period, we’re going to be be in with a shout. We understand the competition is great, but so far we’ve shown enough that we can be in with a fighting chance of the top four and that’s what we’ll be aiming to do. We’re in that top four, we’ve just got to put this game to bed, learn from it and win our next game.”
