Jordan Henderson will have to learn to deal with days like this as his Liverpool side look to be slumping toward a heavy defeat at the hands of Arsenal.

However, he had something to send the travelling Reds home with something to cheer about at least, as his late penalty meant they wouldn’t leave with nothing to show.
A clumsy Hector Bellerin challenge on Raheem Sterling led to the spot kick, and the young Spaniard was lucky to not be sent off as he had already received a booking.
But Henderson stood up, like a captain should, and dispatched the penalty, somewhat unconvincingly.
It was certainly hit well enough, but David Ospina still managed to get a hand to it, but luckily for the stand in skipper it wasn’t strong enough to keep it out of the net.
The Colombian will no doubt feel he should have done better, could it be time to bring back Wojciech Szczesny?
