Joel Matip on Arsenal goal: 'I hope it's just the beginning'

Joel Matip hopes his second goal of the season is just the beginning after the defender helped Liverpool to a 3-1 win over Arsenal.

Having registered one strike in each of his first three campaigns with the Reds, the No.32 beat that tally in the fifth match of 2019-20 with a firm header to break the deadlock against the Gunners at Anfield on Saturday.

Matip was on target in the FA Community Shield earlier this month, too, and he is eager to make a habit of contributing at the other end of the pitch.

“I hope it’s the beginning of [more] goals,” the centre-back told Sky Sports.
