LIVERPOOL: If Granit Xhaka getting sent off came as no real surprise, Arsenal holding out with 10 men at Anfield certainly was a shock. Liverpool failed to take advantage of Xhaka’s 24th-minute red card for a chest-high lunge on Diogo Jota and were held to a 0-0 draw by Arsenal in the first leg of the English League Cup semi-finals on Thursday. With star forwards Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane at the African Cup of Nations, Liverpool lacked a cutting edge up front against an already-depleted Arsenal team that lost two more players Cedric Soares and Bukayo Saka to injury…
