Arsenal outplay Liverpool to climb Premier League table

Saka, Martinelli and Salah score in a pulsating second half

Arsenal scored three goals in the second half to stun Liverpool and close the gap at the top of the table. Bukayo Saka opened the scoring in the 14th minute, but Liverpool equalised through Mohamed Salah just before the half-hour mark. Arsenal retook the lead through Gabriel Martinelli in the 67th minute, and Gabriel Magalhães sealed the victory with a header in the 89th minute. The win moved Arsenal up to second place in the table, two points behind Manchester City.

Arsenal were the better team throughout the match, and they deserved to win. They created more chances than Liverpool, and they were more clinical in front of goal. Liverpool were disappointing, and they never really looked like getting back into the game once Arsenal took the lead in the second half.

This was a big win for Arsenal, and it will give them a lot of confidence going into the rest of the season. They have now won their last three Premier League matches, and they are starting to look like a team that can challenge for the title.
