The 24-year-old dived in with a ridiculous tackle on Theo Walcott to handover a clear penalty the the Gunners striker eventually missed.

But he then helped the struggling forward out with some terrible defending that let him make amends with the opening goal, from open play, just seconds after the spot-kick.

Moreno was hammered by a number of pundits and former players and Jurgen Klopp has now been linked, by , with a replacement in the shape of Porto man Martins Indi.

The Holland international can play both at the centre-back and left-back, which would assist Klopp after he parted company with both Martin Skrtel and Kolo Toure this summer.

And Mamadou Sakho’s future at Anfield remains unclear after he was sent home from the club’s pre-season tour after a hat-trick of discipline issues.

Joel Matip and Ragnar Klavan have arrived on Merseyside as Klopp rebuilds his squad but Indi’s arrival would certainly add strength and depth to the group.

The Netherlands star has made 47 top-flight appearances in Portugal over the last two seasons after joining from Feyenoord  for around £6m in 2014.

Speaking about Moreno, Former Liverpool captain Graeme Souness said: “He's a winger playing left-back, he doesn't sense danger early enough.”

Gary Neville called his challenge on Walcott “garbage”, and added: "You might as well start a goal down with Moreno at left-back.”

Thierry Henry added: “He's been all over the place. On top of everything, he has the gumption to complain about the penalty.”
