Liverpool defender Martin Skrtel believes that he and his teammates were "really unlucky" to lose their FA Cup clash against Arsenal at the Emirates on Sunday.

Despite getting a goal back through a Steven Gerrard penalty in the second half, Liverpool failed to overcome the deficit as it ended 2-1 in the Gunners' favour.

"We were really unlucky and I'm disappointed," Skrtel told the club's official website. "I think we played really well and maybe we could say we were even better, but the result is all that counts.

"Now we must be fully focused on the Premier League and I really hope we can do something very positive there."

The Merseyside outfit are currently fourth in the league table with 12 games left to play.
