Nothing moves Arsenalthe leader who sets a massive pace in Premier League from England. The London team overcomes challenges and fire trials with the irrepressible ambition it expresses on the pitch. So he defeated this Sunday Liverpool, which he defeated 3-2. He was twice on the scoreboard. He didn’t feel the hit that meant the team’s Jurgen Klopp match the story twice and close it thanks to the rigor that Thiago Alcantara engaged with Gabriel Jesus Y Bukayo Saka turned into a goal to keep his place at the top of the table for another day.
Arsenal’s growth is formidable. Something has changed in the team from the English capital and in the Premier. They had only beaten Liverpool once in their fourteen games. This Sunday was the second time in that stretch, so explicit of the moment of Mikel Arteta’s team, whose company had not completed the Olympic lap since 2004. This season they seem determined to be protagonists and they show it by not giving up in the tug-of-war that keep with the Manchester Citywhich also has an overwhelming pace although it is a backward point.
Eighteen years have passed since that Arsenal trophy, whose present postulates him as a strong candidate like he hasn’t remembered for some time at Emirates Stadium, where He took a 14-point lead over Liverpool, with just nine games played. This difference is representative. Just like the light that took you away Man Utd it’s at Chelsea.
His response to City pressure is convincing. Provisionally overtaken on Saturday, Arsenal showed their absolute conviction in what they are doing and it took just 58 seconds to move the opponents and Liverpool with great expressiveness that if anyone wants to drop them from the top of the standings it will be more due to the merit of the rival that demerit, today unthinkable, of the London team.
There is no doubt so far. His great start in the Premier League, with eight wins and only one fall (the defeat against Manchester United), represents the formidable reality enjoyed today by Arsenal, whose attacking pass is formidable, as demonstrated by William Saliba’s recovery in his territory at Gabriel Martinelli’s resolution before Allison. The magnificent step was by Martin Odegaard. The vision of him, as well as the execution of him, overwhelmed Alexander Arnold leading him to 1-0 in less than a minute of action.
Liverpool reacted. Meter by meter, instant by instant, forced the response of goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale, who jumped to his feet to counter the shot Darwin Sanchez and Saliba’s shot towards his own fence, when he blocked a threatening cross, but found no possible way to block the shot from the Uruguayan striker, who in the 33rd minute won Luis Díaz’s low cross. , the Colombian winger was injured, with a blow that no longer seems to have repercussions for the future. Firmino is out.
It is a goal against the doubts of Darwin Núñez. The summer millionaire investment is also a pressure for the striker, who has not scored in the Premier League since August 6, for two months, from the first day, until this Sunday. Undisputed Community Shield hero, these are his only two league goals so far. Lor you need Jurgen Klopp’s block. And even more the Uruguayan striker.
But, when it seemed the best match for Liverpool, Arsenal hit the mark, launched by a quick counterattack on the edge of the interval directed by Martinelli, who took the ball in midfield, began his push towards the opponent’s goal at full speed. he broke two rivals (Henderson and Alexander Arnold) and concentrated in the heart of the area, where Gabriel Magalhaes fooled everyone by letting him go under his legs, except for sakewho pushed on the net 2-1 between the disbelief of Jürgen Klopp and his players.
From 2-1 it also went badly Trent Alexander Arnold, whose offensive virtues contrast with their defensive defects. Misreading him opened up a space that wouldn’t have existed if he’d held back the momentum to go to the intersection when he shouldn’t have. The snag of Gabriele Martinelli It took him out of the spotlight, invalidated him from action and put him on trial. During the break he remains in the locker room, replaced by Joe Gómez. He didn’t appear hurt.
As before, but in reverse Liverpool resurfaced when least expectedwhen the game seemed more in the power of Arsenal, when Diogo Jota’s pass activates the Brazilian Firmino behind the local defense, who crosses with his left foot and leads the 2-2. At 53 ‘his sixth goal in the last five days, the third in the last two, to equalize and reopen a new match, finally for the locals.
Amid the fright of Gabriel Jesús – an elbow in the face alarmed everyone, even if he recovered after a couple of minutes of attention on the pitch – Arsenal resumed their voracity. I didn’t want a tie. It wasn’t enough for him. He was not satisfied. Firstly, Allison stops the offensive, against Saka and Gabriel Jesús, suddenly victim of a penalty more than discussed by Liverpool and an incredulous Thiago.
Saka transformed him, in the 76th minute, between the apotheosis of the Emirates Stadium and between the unstoppable defensive injury suffered by Liverpool (six goals suffered in the last two league games), to culminate in the umpteenth demonstration of Arsenal, intractable leader of which its limits are not yet understood.
