They went toe-to-toe with Liverpool and fell on the wrong side of the result. The Ivory Coast international failed to register a single shot on goal or a touch in the opposition box. Lopetegui opted to move to a back five in the closing stages as Toti was brought on alongside Max Kilman and Nathan Collins. His size and strength allowed him to soak up the Palace pressure and bring others into play, especially around the box. He threw himself about and was a nuisance to opposition defenders, winning more duels than anyone on the pitch (9). It was a chance for the hosts to reset.

For a striker who can be criticised for being too involved in the build-up, it was a rarity to see him this quiet. "Eddie, Eddie, Eddie" rang out around the Emirates and his confidence would have been lifted by the goal and the support, but it wasn't just the goal that was impressive from Nketiah. If opposite number Jones - who actually launched his coaching career with the Seagulls - was unsure of the size of the task ahead of him, he'll have a much better idea now. That last statistic is crucial not just for his side's overall play, but also for in matches against bigger sides where other teams looking to stay in the division rarely pick up points.

"We lacked many things today, they were way better than us from the start of the game."
