Liverpool –
Arsenal must recognize the defending champion Liverpool 1-3 in continued Premier League last night. In the middle of a match, Granit xhaka scold Arsenal players.
Challenging Liverpool at Anfield, Arsenal started the match well. The Gunners stunned the home side after taking the lead through Alexandre Lacazette’s goal in the 25th minute.
However, Jaca actually went berserk in Lacazette’s goal celebration. According to reports BeIN Sports, The Swiss midfielder ran towards his team mates and said aloud “We’re afraid” twice. Xhaka’s anger was caused by Arsenal too much room for Liverpool.
Liverpool then turned out to beat Arsenal in just nine minutes. Sadio Mane scores back to balance the game in the 28th minute.
Andy Robertson made up for his blunder by creating Liverpool’s second goal after maximizing Trent Alexander-Arnold’s pass. Notch changed to 2-1 at halftime.
Throughout the first 45 minutes, Arsenal only had one attempt on goal, which stemmed from a Robertson error. In addition, Mikel Arteta’s men were only able to make five touches on the ball in the final third of the pitch due to the Red’s dominance.
“Liverpool’s press has been very good so far, but once Arsenal beat him they can qualify. This is indeed a high-risk approach for Liverpool, you can see how many people there are in Arsenal’s defense,” former Premier League star Jamie Carragher told Sky Sports during the break.
After the restart, Liverpool continued their dominance while Jaca replaced by Dani Ceballos when the game entered an hour. But it was only in the final minutes that Liverpool could add to their lead through substitute Diego Jota’s goal. The highlight of the match can be seen on Mola TV here.
Thus Liverpool are still 100 percent in the first three Premier League games, including victories over their two direct rivals: Chelsea (2-0) and Arsenal. Juergen Klopp’s men perched in second place with nine points, while in fifth with six points.
