How Arsenal defeated Liverpool in the end

With Mikel Arteta's team flying high before the game, there was hope that this time might be different for Arsenal, who had lost six of their previous seven Premier League games against Liverpool. And within a minute, the home crowd was jubilant.Once more, Liverpool's propensity for sluggish starts in games was exposed when Saka and Martin Odegaard eventually broke through the opposition's defense before Martinelli added the finishing touches. In their last 12 Premier League games, they have given up the opening goal 10 times.

Just after the half-hour mark, Nunez, Arsenal's main troublemaker, received his reward when Trent Alexander-long Arnold's ball over the top was mishandled by Gabriel, and Diaz darted over to the right. However, right on the cusp of halftime, Saka was left in space at the back post after a quick counterattack to convert Martinelli's low pass through the six-yard box and retake the lead for the Gunners.This came after Liverpool had earned that equalizer and had taken control of the game.

After the break, Klopp substituted Joe Gomez for Alexander-Arnold, but the new right-back found it just as difficult to mark Martinelli and was almost immediately defeated. Then, the winger won the ball from Joel Matip and set up Martin Odegaard, who scuffed a shot at goal when the Norwegian should have done better.
