Arsenal FC stole a point from Liverpool in the top game of the Premier League. The “Gunners” kept the hosts at a distance for the time being with the 1-1 draw in the table, coach Jürgen Klopp’s team moved past Aston Villa, one point behind the Londoners.
Reds attacker Mohamed Salah canceled out Gabriel’s early lead with his 12th goal of the season in the 29th minute. As a result, the Egyptian caught up with leader Erling Haaland in the league’s top scorer ranking and is now sole second. The Norwegian from newly crowned Club World Cup winners Manchester City, whose game against Brentford was postponed, is in first place with 14 goals (go to the list of goalscorers).
In between, Klopp was suddenly right in the middle of the action on Sunday at Anfield. After Arsenal striker Bukayo Saka physically assaulted Liverpool defensive player Konstantinos Tsimikas, the Greek brought down the German coach. Tsimikas then had to be substituted due to a shoulder injury. After the break, Liverpool missed the winning goal: Trent Alexander-Arnold hit the crossbar of the Arsenal goal after a counterattack (73′).
On Sunday, Chelsea FC can stay in the top half of the table with a win in Wolverhampton.
