Arsenal next six Premier League fixtures compared to Liverpool, Man city and rivals as Arteta Men set for another strong battle after Man city close the points yesterday
Liverpool missed the chance to go eight points clear at the top of the Premier League table as they were beaten by Arsenal.
Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard were on target for the Gunners as Jurgen Klopp’s side suffered just their second defeat of the season. It was a dire performance from the Reds, who paid the price for two mistakes during the second-half.
The Reds were behind after 13 minutes when Saka put the Gunners in front. Liverpool were carved open, and the England international was on hand to finish after Kai Havertz’s initial effort was saved.
On the stroke of half-time, Luis Diaz’s persistence was rewarded as the ball was scrambled over the line. But midway through the second-half, Liverpool found themselves behind in North London.
Martinell couldn’t believe his luck as he tapped into an empty net, following a mix-up between Alisson Becker and Virgil van Dijk. Ibrahima Konate was shown a red card for a second bookable offence following a cynical block on Kai Havertz and moments later, Trossard rounded off the scoring.
Manchester City could move to within three points of Liverpool with a win over Brentford on Monday. The Reds need to respond against Burnley, and here is how the Reds’ fixture list in the Premier League looks over the coming weeks.
