Arsenal were held to a frustrating 2-2 draw with Liverpool at Emirates Stadium. The Gunners got off to a flying start in the match as Bukayo Saka seized on Ben White’s ball over the top to finish clinically.
Arsenal were dominant in the match after that, but Liverpool were able to level when Virgil van Dijk nodded in Luis Diaz’s flick on from a corner. Right on the stroke of half time though it was Arsenal’s turn to score from a set piece. This time Mikel Merino was on hand to head home his first goal for the club after Declan Rice’s superb cross.
Liverpool grew back into it in the second half though, and Arsenal found their already threadbare back four decimated by injuries as Gabriel and Jurrien Timber were forced to come off.
Eventually Liverpool were able to take advantage when Mohamed Salah tapped home Darwin Nunez’s low cross after a ball over the top by Trent Alexander-Arnold.
