Liverpool’s unprecedented 5v1 attack that did not end in a goal and robbed Liverpool of victory over Arsenal in a great match

Arsenal (40) stood in front of the fists of Liverpool (39′), especially in the second half, in which they had the victory in hand with two shots on the woodwork – one after an incredibly wasted counterattack – and left Anfield with a point (1-1), enough to maintain their dominance in the premier league. It’s also a nod to the Aston Villa (39) of Draw Martinezwho was one point from the top, for the Tottenham (36) of Cuti Romero, who beat 2-1 Evertonit’s at Manchester City (34) of Giuliano Alvarezwho postponed the match due to his triumphant excursion through Saudi Arabia and did not lose much ground.

Still without winning at Anfield, Arsenal have not reached the three points in a stadium that has never left you alone since the 2012-13 season, with its manager, Mikel Arteta, As a player. But he emerged unscathed, immersed in the game, faithful to his style and without giving up a victory that, at times, was closer to his rival.

The tie does not satisfy anyone completely. Furthermore, it leaves the fight for the leadership of the Premier League more than open. None of the top three managed to win. Not even Unai Emery’s Aston Villa, third, who failed to beat the bottom team, Sheffield. Neither Arsenal, first, nor Liverpool, second. Only Tottenham, fourth, scored the three points this day.

Such a setback benefits the reigning champion, Manchester Citywho have a game in hand and can get back to fighting if they win the pending match in this eighteenth matchday against Brentford at the Etihad Stadium.

With the stakes, no one won. Neither Liverpoolwho still cannot count on the services of Alexis MacAllister, nor the Arsenal. It was a relentless match, with an intense rhythm, what the team always does. Jurgen Klopp and for having welcomed Arteta’s team, taking the lead after four minutes, with an action on a dead ball, carried out by the Norwegian Martin Odegard which the Brazilian took advantage of with his head held high Gabriele Magalhaes to expose the local defense and its goalkeeper, Alisson Becker.

They took advantage of it Artillerymen more adapted to the situation. Liverpool, unbeaten in the Premier League for ten games, are starting to react. He took possession of the ball and added speed to the game. He equalized after half an hour. In a long passage of Trent Alexander Arnold towards Mohamed Salah on the right wing. The Egyptian got rid of it Oleksandr Zinchenkohe entered the area and made a firm, high shot that overcame the resistance of Davide Raya. Great goal.

Klopp’s team seemed to turn the field around with that shout from Salah -lHe reached 151 Premier League goals and entered the top ten goalscorers of all time– even if the last option before the break was for the London team, at the feet of Gabriele Martinelli who finished near the post when Alisson was out of position.

Upon returning from the locker rooms the team experiences its best moment. Joe Gomez He managed to score but his definition was of no use and then came the stick he ended up with. Harvey Elliott.

The next one was clearer, just before the final quarter of an hour, in a quick counterattack directed by Salah who gave the ball to Alexander Arnold. The right back, a guarantee with his fist, shoots with Raya completely unguarded but the ball hit the crossbar. There were five players in red against one in yellow, not counting the goalkeeper. There was no telling how bad the away team was. Liverpool got the win there, but it didn’t come in that match or afterwards.

The meeting then opened. Anyone could have won. No one did and the match ended in a draw and with the Premier League open to the highest bidder.
