The Gunners began on the front foot, tearing through Liverpool’s defense within minutes to score two quick goals past Virgil van Dijk and Allison Becker. Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Jesus were the goal scorers for Arsenal, determined to end Liverpool’s dominance at home.

However, just before the half-time break, Liverpool’s talismanic striker Mohamed Salah pulled one back for the home side with a simple tap-in past Aaron Ramsdale. The scoreline at the break was 2-1 in favor of Arsenal.

Liverpool came out all guns blazing in the second half, and they were soon awarded a penalty after Salah was fouled in the box. However, the Egyptian forward squandered the chance to equalize, hitting the post and denying his team a crucial opportunity to get back into the game.

Salah’s miss could have been costly for Liverpool, but Bobby Firmino came to the rescue, scoring a crucial goal in the 87th minute to complete the comeback for the Reds. Firmino has been a thorn in Arsenal’s side for many years, scoring a hat-trick and a brace against the Gunners in the past, and he once again proved his worth to Liverpool with a well-taken goal.

The Brazilian striker’s heroics were not enough to hide Liverpool’s defensive frailties, however, as Arsenal exposed the home side’s weaknesses time and time again. The Gunners could have easily added more goals to their tally, but they were thwarted by some resolute defending from Liverpool, as well as some crucial saves from Allison Becker.
