00:00
Full time here at the Emirates and the two Premier League title hopefuls couldn't be separated, they finished Arsenal 2, Liverpool 2.
00:10
Liverpool rode their luck at times, certainly in the first half they were well below par, they were improved in the second half.
00:18
Arsenal for me probably deserved to win, I thought Liverpool in the first half were particularly poor.
00:26
But they showed the battling qualities that are going to be needed in a title race,
00:32
probably the biggest winners today are Manchester City because they stay top of the table,
00:37
they stay ahead of Arsenal and they stay ahead of Liverpool and they're the ones to get at this early stage.
00:42
But as I say, Liverpool struggled in the first half but Kyle Saka took the lead in the ninth minute,
00:48
he latched on to Ben White, long ball, beat Andy Robertson maybe a little bit too easily,
00:54
cut in size and finished beyond Kwame Keleher.
00:58
Liverpool got themselves back level nine minutes later through Virgil van Dijk,
01:03
Trent Alexander-Arnold whipped a corner in, flipped on by Luis Diaz and there was Van Dijk to head home,
01:12
they thought Liverpool might be able to build a little bit of momentum but it was quite the opposite,
01:18
it was all Arsenal for the rest of the first half and they deservedly went ahead at half time,
01:24
just before the interval through Micheal Moreno, really poor foul from Luis Diaz,
01:30
knowing how strong Arsenal are at set pieces, he gifted them a chance and they took it,
01:38
a great ball in from Declan Rice and Micheal Moreno headed home.
01:42
Second half, Liverpool were better but to be honest, even in the second half they were better,
01:47
they struggled to create a lot of chances for Liverpool,
01:49
neither did Arsenal actually, they didn't really create any gilts-head chances
01:52
but Arsenal had a few injuries at the back, Gabriel and Jürgen Timber had to go off
01:59
and Liverpool took advantage, Darwin Nunes latched on to Trent Alexander-Arnold, long ball,
02:05
pulled it back from Mo Salah, he composedly finished his first real chance of the game
02:10
to net his 163rd Premier League goal moving him joint 8th,
02:15
alongside fellow Anfield legends Robbie Fowler in the all-time Premier League top scorer list.
02:21
Arsenal thought they'd netted a winner late on but it was a judge that Kai Havert had committed the foul
02:29
on Ibrahima Kanate and on the balance, as I say, I think Arsenal were the better team
02:35
but those were the battling qualities that Liverpool needed away from home against a team like Arsenal.
02:41
Ibrahima Kanate was magnificent today, Virgil van Dijk as well, the two centre-backs were excellent.
02:47
I thought the midfields of Liverpool were poor, Alexander Calister had probably one of his worst games as a Liverpool player
02:53
but Liverpool, they take it, they move on and after playing him this week against Leipzig,
03:00
they come here and it's another tough game and they've got another tougher way to hit Brighton on Wednesday
03:06
this time in the Carabao Cup where you would think Arnold Slott will make changes
03:10
and then they've got Brighton at home after that in the Premier League.
03:14
I think a lot of fans before this game would have taken a point even though Arsenal did have a few injuries
03:21
and obviously Williams' leave was suspended but overall, I think Liverpool will head back to Mazerside happy
03:28
and there's Arsenal too, Liverpool too.
