Premier League title hopefuls Arsenal and Liverpool shared the spoils in a dramatic 2-2 draw at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday late afternoon.
The Gunners were out to recover ground on Arne Slot’s pre-rounds leaders and win back-to-back league games against the Reds for the first time since 2012 following a 3-1 triumph in this fixture in February.

Bukayo Saka faced a race against time to make himself available for selection after missing out on midweek UEFA Champions League action due to a minor fitness problem.
Marred by injuries and suspensions, Arsenal desperately needed their homegrown winger fit, and he answered the goal.
He opened the scoring in the ninth minute with a delightful finish after making light work of Andy Robertson to put Mikel Arteta’s makeshift line-up in front.
In doing so, Saka became the youngest Gunners player to score 50 Premier League goals, achieving this flattering milestone at 23 years and 52 days old.
