Fans are loving what Arsenal star Dani Ceballos had to say about Liverpool

Arsenal star Dani Ceballos has opened up on how he has never seen a team play like Liverpool did when the two sides met at Anfield at the end of August.

A first half header from Joel Matip and a second half brace from Mohamed Salah handed Jurgen Klopp's side a 3-1 win, extending their unbeaten start to the season and bring an abrupt end to Arsenal's.

And Ceballos, who joined Unai Emery's side during the summer on a season-long deal from Real Madrid, has now revealed how he hasn't experienced anything like he did on that Saturday evening at Anfield .

“I’ve never seen anything like what I saw at Anfield; I haven’t seen a team that plays better, that presses like them, the way the fans carry them along," the Spanish international the Guardian .

“They take the air from you. You spend so much time defending and when you want to do something with the ball, when you want to breathe, they’re back on top of you. They’re very well-drilled.”

The 23-year-old has also revealed that his side are continually working on emulating the way the Reds play and by doing will be in the top 10 teams globally in years to come.

“We can’t compare it at the moment," the midfielder added.

"We’re working on some similar things but Jurgen Klopp arrived at Liverpool in 2015. Unai came last season.

"Arsenal finished a point short of the Champions League and a small step from winning the Europa League; his arrival will be positive. In a few years Arsenal will be in the top 10 teams globally, competing for everything."
