With the addition of Alisson Becker and Virgil van Dijk, Liverpool’s attacking power against Arsenal was very high. With the addition of Alisson Becker and Virgil van Dijk, Liverpool’s attacking power against Arsenal was very high. Liverpool’s almost three-month unbeaten run ended when they lost 3-1 to Arsenal. Manchester City would have benefited the most from this result.
Pep Guardiola’s men now have five points with two games remaining. Bukayo Saka, who started the game quickly, put the hosts ahead. Arsenal looked dangerous on several counter-attacks, with the Gunners trying to get in first even after Alisson Becker saved from Kai Havertz. Saka left after scoring an unprotected goal.
Liverpool looked every way throughout the game and the Reds were very lethargic on all fronts, but at least in the second half Arsenal could have been a couple of goals ahead at the break. However, Luis Diaz’s fine performance created enough panic for Liverpool to equalize at the end of the first half. In fact, given the flow of the first 45 minutes, it was a stunning goal that might have been expected to be scored by Liverpool rather than Arsenal.
The ball went through the hands of Gabriel and the “Singers” somehow equalized the terrible score.Liverpool were in an emergency situation in the second half. Alisson and Virgil van Dijk rarely make mistakes but both did and gave Gabriel Martinelli an open goal to find the winner.
The whole game was what Arsenal deserved. Leandro Trossard added a third goal from a tight angle when Alisson put the ball between his legs.Diogo Jota and Curtis Jones got some credit and Alexis McAllister also performed very well. However, as mentioned above, Manchester City got the biggest win. Guardiola’s men face Brentford tomorrow. Many Liverpool players struggled with the pace of the game.
Since I started slowly, I don’t think I’m going in the right direction. Ryan Gravenburch and Cody Gakpo from both wings attempted shots.It wasn’t Van Dijk’s best game, but he improved as the game progressed, making no mistake. He and Alisson scored more goals than they conceded at Liverpool but that was a big mistake.
