Arsenal and Liverpool collided badly in Saturday’s round of the Premier League.

In the last match of the round, Liverpool had to settle for the points distribution as a guest of Leeds. Liverpool still led the match in the 73rd minute 2–0, but collapsed at the end to a 3–3 draw.
Leeds’ last goal was scored by Japanese Ao Tanaka after a corner kick. There were 96 minutes on the game clock at that time.
