HECTOR BELLERIN was left seething after being pulled up for TWO foul throws during Arsenal’s 3-1 defeat to Liverpool.
The Spanish defender, playing as the right wing-back in Mikel Arteta’s 3-4-3 system, was deemed to have incorrectly thrown the ball during the first half of the match at Anfield.

However, Bellerin was punished for the same offence during the second half as Arsenal trailed 2-1.
And the exasperated Gunners ace made his feelings known towards the match officials.
He moaned: “How?! I’ve thrown like that my whole life!”
Unfortunately for Bellerin, the decision made little difference as Arsenal ended up conceding a third goal late on.
The Gunners had managed to take the lead on Merseyside through Alexandre Lacazette.
The French striker pounced following an awful mistaken clearance from Andy Robertson.
But Arsenal’s lead lasted just minutes as Sadio Mane quickly equalised for the hosts.
Robertson then put Liverpool in front ten minutes before the break.
And the result was sealed when Diogo Jota came off the bench to score on his Premier League debut for the Reds.
However, Arsenal do have the chance to exact swift revenge against Jurgen Klopp’s men.
The two teams meet again on Thursday to battle for a place in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals.
