Whenever Arsenal and Liverpool meet, Jurgen Klopp tends to praise Gabriel Martinelli, and this week he deputized the Brazilian for troubled right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold.
If I hadn't thought sooner, it took less than a minute for everyone to realize that Alexander-Arnold had had a rough day. Martin Odegaard slipped the ball brilliantly between the England defender and his team-mate Joel Matip, while Martinelli pushed the ball past Alisson in the Liverpool goal, stunning the Emirates and Arsenal for a historic victory.
As expected, Mikel Arteta lined up to take advantage of the vulnerable Alexandre-Arnold and this continued to happen in the first half. Frustration for the Reds on the counter was something Martinelli could have done at his disposal as he was shown a reasonable yellow card for bringing down the Arsenal man, beating the equally quick Luis Diaz to his furious pace .
Despite the impressive start from Arteta's men, it was the first 45 minutes that saw Liverpool at their best, showing they are not to be underestimated despite a poor start to the season. Darwin Nunes looked dangerous and constantly pressured Aaron Ramsdale in goal and Gabriel in the center.
Trent is a player Arsenal want to showcase, but he could be the one to tell Gabriel Klopp to target his players. The Brazilian could have missed the penalty for handball, but missed Alexander-Arnold's hopeful strike before the Gunners pulled off a poor save when Diaz raced down the right flank for Nunes with a goal-scoring opportunity. worthy objective.
Despite Liverpool having more of the ball, Arsenal and Martinelli were able to press Alexander-Arnold and ask as many questions as possible. Trent Martinelli was able to shake off what appeared to be a wrist injury later in the game, but was unable to save the 21-year-old from the slump.
At the opposite end, Takehiro Tomiyasu tallied the no-name Mohamed Salah before being substituted in the second half, Benjamin White started the campaign well at right-back and Gareth Southgate proved his worth. . Seats on a flight to Qatar. With Arsenal tied 1-1 at half-time, Liverpool squandered a chance on the break and the counter-attack punished them on the counter-attack.
Martinelli looked at Jordan Henderson and Trent was perfectly positioned between the Reds captain and Kostas Tsimikas. People always try to solve problems by themselves, because they think they won't, and they lose all their training. The Brazilian found Bukayo Saka at the back post. The England star was an absolute blast to gift Arsenal a huge opportunity worthy of a half-time lead. It was a break and Klopp has seen enough. Alexander-Arnold was replaced and Joe Gomes appeared at full-back. My
An ankle injury could have taken him out, or Klopp could have done what he had to do to get the result.
The two may have been combined as the German coach used the knockout as a perfect opportunity to make a difference as no injury and Alexander-Arnold's sluggish performance sent the wrong message from players and players. fans. Trent's attempt to stop Martinelli in front of the Saka goal...was confused. Does he go out of his way to prove he can protect? Is he just crazy? Did he want to be a hero and silence people for a while? Only that person knows. He can be a bit weak defensively. He is sure.
Gomes came on and a pass similar to the first goal was played to Martinelli, but the Liverpool defender did a little more bravely, pointing a shoulder tackle from the touchline midway through the second half. The Brazilian team sat on the couch in Trent's hoodie and continued to watch the match
In the 42nd minute, Roberto Firmino, who replaced the injured Diaz, beat Aaron Ramsdale to equalize for Liverpool and Liverpool looked like they could take all three points. But Heavy Metal Red was never able to reach that equalizer. After Thiago took out Gabriel Jesus, Saka scored his third league goal and second game of the season this season. There was a shot between Saka's goal and the final whistle in the 76th minute of the first half, but Ramsdale was unable to block the attempt.
Paul Merson said Arsenal will fight for the title ahead of the north London derby against Tottenham and Liverpool last week. They look at least in the top four and Manchester City are very hard to break. Erling Holland, in particular, has a hat-trick in every game, but looks set to end the season with a win over Liverpool. Klopp's side are the 18th youngest team in the division and Arsenal are the second youngest. By the end of this match, the two teams looked almost the same age. Martinelli fits his performance well as Liverpool's best team-mate and Trent was a nightmare given the hype of the match.
Two 21-year-olds from Liverpool ran the show as the Gunners took 14 points from Klopp's side. Klopp can compete.
