In a high-stakes Premier League clash, Liverpool twice came from behind to secure a 2-2 draw against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium. The Gunners opened scoring in just 10 minutes, as Bukayo Saka skillfully broke free from Andy Robertson to blast the ball into the net. Liverpool responded quickly, however, with Virgil van Dijk heading home from a Trent Alexander-Arnold corner to level the score.
The first half continued with drama, as Arsenal’s Gabriel Martinelli was denied a penalty claim despite a heated appeal. Arsenal took the lead once more before halftime, when Mikel Merino connected with a Declan Rice cross to head home, sending the Gunners into the break with a 2-1 advantage.
After losing Gabriel to injury early in the second half, Arsenal faced sustained pressure from Liverpool, who finally broke through in the 77th minute. Darwin Núñez’s precision pass allowed Mohamed Salah to finish calmly, leveling the score once again. Arsenal thought they’d found a late winner through Gabriel Jesus, but the goal was ruled out as the referee had already blown his whistle.
The draw leaves Liverpool four points ahead of Arsenal in the title race, though both teams fell further behind league leaders Manchester City following the weekend.
