Arsenal

En un encuentro no apto para cardíacos y con tensión por doquier (típico de un partido de Premier League inglesa), el Arsenal se impuso por 3-2 en el ...

Con un escenario puesto para que cualquiera de los dos pudiera ganar, Thiago cometió una falta sobre Gabriel Jesús dentro del área en los minutos finales. Asimismo, esta representa la primera victoria del Arsenal sobre el Liverpool desde la 2014-2015 cuando ganaron 4-1 en casa por la jornada 31. Apenas a los 57 segundos del pitazo inicial, Bukayo Saka se combinó desde la banda derecha con Martin Ødegaard en la zona media y este cedió un pase entre lineas al brasileño Gabriel Martinelli para hacer explotar las gradas de manera temprana.

Sunday's 3–2 victory proved that the Gunners have the resilience—and talent—to be a contender in the race for a Premier League trophy.

Arsenal began the second half the better, but it is still not a team entirely to be trusted. That is not the result of the formation or of the press, but of a deeply flawed decision. Klopp’s side seemed on top at that stage, but the Alexander-Arnold fallibility cost it again in the fifth minute of first-half injury-time as Arsenal scored a goal that exposed just how scrambled his brain has become. That habit of starting slowly, quite apart from anything to do with formation or the form of certain individuals, is a major issue. There are those who insist Alexander-Arnold is a fraud, and those who curse the supposedly excessive caution of the England manager Gareth Southgate in not selecting him. Klopp stuck with the 4-2-3-1 shape he had used in the 2–0 Champions League in over Rangers on Tuesday, a shape that, in theory, offers greater defensive solidity than the 4-3-3 Klopp has habitually used, with the double pivot of Jordan Henderson and Thiago Alcântara protecting the back four and the fullbacks, relieved of the burden of offering attacking width, able to play a little deeper.

Arsenal prove why they are top of the Premier League in a five goal thriller against a Liverpool side struggling for form.

It must be getting harder and harder for Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta to deny his team is a genuine title challenger in the Premier League this season.

Antony equalized in the 15th. It was Ronaldo's 144th goal for United across two spells at the club. Make that a goal in each of his three games over the past week, his latest a brilliant but contentious one in a 3-1 win over Fulham. Liverpool twice came from behind, having first conceded to Gabriel Martinelli after 58 seconds. “We haven't done any of that.” It must be getting harder and harder for Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta to deny his team is a genuine title challenger in the Premier League this season.

Al descanso se quedó en el vestuario, sustituido por Joe Gómez, pero por una torsión de tobillo. Metro a metro, instante a instante, forzó la respuesta del arquero Aaron Ramsdale, que surgió para contraponerse al tiro de Darwin Núñez y al remate hacia su propio arco de Saliba, cuando despejó un amenazante centro, pero que no encontró ningún recurso posible para repeler el remate desde el suelo del delantero uruguayo, quien remachó el centro de raso de Luis Díaz en el minuto 33. Su mala lectura de la acción abrió un espacio que no habría existido de haber contenido su ímpetu para ir al cruce cuando no debía. Han pasado ya 18 años de aquel trofeo del Arsenal, cuyo presente lo postula como un aspirante tan firme como hacía tiempo no se recordaba en el estadio Emirates, donde distanció al Liverpool hasta los 14 puntos, con tan solo nueve partidos disputados y con el matiz de que el conjunto dirigido por Jurgen Klopp tiene un choque menos. Sólo había ganado una vez al Liverpool en el recorrido más reciente de sus catorce enfrentamientos.

El atacante colombiano Luis Díaz salió en muletas del estadio Emirates, con la rodilla izquierda maltrecha al lesionarse en el primer tiempo. Saka ejecutó con frialdad la pena máxima a los 76 minutos tras un pisotón del volante Thiago Alcántara al atacante brasileño Gabriel Jesús. El triunfo dejó a Arsenal como líder con 24 puntos, uno por delante del City.
