Arsenal displayed a perfect performance as the Gunners defeated Liverpool 3-1 at the Emirates, in Sunday’s Premier League game.
Arsenal were rewarded for a lightning start when Bukayo Saka gave them a 14th-minute lead, turning home a rebound after Alisson saved from Kai Havertz.
The hosts were dominant but a defensive shambles allowed Liverpool to restore parity seconds before the break, Gabriel turning the ball into his own net via his hand after a mix-up between keeper David Raya and William Saliba as they challenged Luis Diaz.
However, the Gunners were the next beneficiaries of a calamitous mix-up, this time between Alisson and Virgil van Dijk, that saw them restore their lead after 67 minutes.
And Liverpool’s misery was compounded in the closing stages when defender Ibrahima Konate was shown a second yellow card for a foul on Havertz before substitute Leandro Trossard added a third in stoppage time.
