Arsenal vs Liverpool, Premier League 2024/25 Fixture | As It Happened

The high-voltage fixture of Arsenal and Liverpool lived up to the billing, as the fixture that promised end-to-end football and high-quality attacking football started off with an early goal from Bukayo Saka, who met the long ball of Ben White with perfection, as everything about the goal was just beautiful.

The run-in behind, the first touch, the dribble to nutmeg Andrew Robertson, and the finish, right in the top corner of the near post, and the Arsenal's 'Starboy' marked his return from injury with a beautiful goal.

However, the lead stood no longer than 9 minutes, as Virgil Van Dijk scored a thumping header from the corner, as he met  Luis Diaz's ball in the right place, at the right time.

Both teams created fair amount of chances in the first-half, and the breakthrough moment arrived in the 43rd minute, as Arsenal, yet again, scored from a set-piece.

Mikel Merino scored his first Arsenal goal via a header from Declan Rice's ball, a decision that needed VAR intervention, but after lots of scrutiny, the Spanaird was awarded his well-deserved goal.

Second-half did produce moments of brilliance but there were no signs of goals until the 81st minute, where Darwin Nunez did well enough to find Mohammad Salah, who now has a goal contribution in 8 of his last 9 appearances across all competitions.

Just when Arsenal thought they had scored the winner, referee Anthony Taylor spoiled the party for the home side, as he had already blown the whistle for a Liverpool free-kick.

At the full-time whistle, neither of the managers celebrated the result, as both of them seeked all the three points.
