In an incredibly important game for the title race in the premier league, Arsenal seemed to somewhat dominate a seemingly unbreakable fortress ending Liverpool’s 18 game unbeaten streak.
This win takes Arsenal only 2 points behind Liverpool at the top of the league with Manchester City really having the biggest advantage with 2 games in hand being 5 points off the top. If Manchester City beat Brentford tonight, they will go 3 points off the top with a game in hand due to their Club World Cup win.
Ex-Chelsea man, Jorginho performed when his team needed him the most leading in so many statistics and commanding the midfield which was filled with world class players.
Liverpool were without their main goal scorer and star player, Mo Salah, due to injury however Arsenal seemed to just completely counteract the tactics that Klopp was pushing forward and trying to win them the game.
It only took 14 minutes for Buakyo Saka to get his name on the scoresheet to the delight of many Arsenal fans across London. It was then doubled by his partner in crime, Martinelli and then topped off by Trossard in extra time.
Arteta didn’t play his usual possession based game however, since Liverpool are accustomed to playing against that with their 5 year long rivalry against Manchester City. And they ended the game with only 42% possession however they demolished in every other match statistic and most importantly the goals ending 3-2 to the home side.
It is Liverpool’s second defeat in TEN premier league months which should be no cause for stress for Liverpool fans since with the depth they have in their squad, they should be able to bounce back from the loss and regain the gap they lost on Sunday.
The captain of the losing team, Virgil Van Dijk has seemingly taken the fall for the loss and shouldered the blame for himself with a message that they will bounce back from this and regain the dominance that they have been showing all season long.
