Liverpool-Arsenal electrifying in the Premier League: from pushing a line to a player to Ramsdale’s miraculous saves

It was quite a show. Between sport and non-football, Liverpool AND Arsenalthe leader of the Premier Leaguethrilled the fans present at Anfield stadium and all those who followed them around the world with the 2-2 which celebrated the Manchester Citywhich shortened the distance in the fight for the title.

Everything really happened: heartbreaking comeback from 0-2 to 2-2, missed penalty for Muhammad Salaa linesman who literally elbowed Robertson as he protested at half-time and Aaron Ramsdale’s miraculous saves that saved the Gunners.

Thus, Arsenal missed the opportunity to maintain the lead they had before the start of the 30 date and are now six points clear of City, who beat Southampton on Saturday with a goal from Julián Álvarez, have one game in less and must face those of London .

Brazilians Gabriel Martinelli (8) and Gabriel Jesus (28) gave the ‘Gunners’ the lead in a first half that expected a win for Spaniard Mikel Arteta, but Liverpool fought back and equalized with goals from Egyptian Salah (42, ten minutes later misses a penalty) and also the Brazilian Roberto Firmino (87′).

blow and controversy

Apart from some questionable arbitration decisions, the controversy that took place on social networks took place at the interval. At that moment, Scotland’s Andrew Robertson went to protest a play on linesman Constantine Hatzidakis, who raised his right arm to strike the player in the face.

It was clearly an action in which he tried to assault him and was reminiscent of the kick in the genitals that Mexican referee Fernando Hernández inflicted on Argentine footballer Lucas Romero last week.

For this action, and after the commotion that ensued, the referee was handed a 12-games-away penalty, according to the decision made by the MX League disciplinary body.

In Sunday’s other game, Leeds were beaten 5-1 at home by Crystal Palace (12th) and continue two points above the relegation zone.
