Might be Jurgen Klopp’s final visit to the Emirates Stadium as Liverpool boss was not a happy one, with Arsenal securing a deserved 3-1 victory on Sunday in a game where both defences were lacking.
The Reds heading into the game with high momentum but simply never got going, and it was little surprise when Bukayo Saka opened the scoring early in the first half, snatching up the rebound following a poor miss from Kai Havertz.
In fact, the only time Liverpool could score was when Gabriel gifted them a comedy own goal on the stroke of half time.
Arsenal soon returned the favour, with Virgil van Dijk and Alisson’s ridiculous mix-up allowing Gabriel Martinelli to put the hosts back in front.
Any hope of an unlikely Liverpool comeback were definitely ended when Ibrahima Konate was sent off and Leandro Trossard scored a late third.
A defeat for Arsenal would have left them eight points adrift of leaders Liverpool in the Premier League title race, but instead they have closed that gap so that it is down to just two.
Defending champions Manchester City remain just five points off the top but now have two games in hand, starting with a visit to Brentford on Monday, to overhaul Liverpool.
