In the central match of the Premier League round - an impressive victory of Arsenal with a score of 3:1 against Liverpool.

In the first half, Arsenal players completely dominated, but they could not build up a lead.

In the 14th minute, Kai Havertz received a precise pass from Martin Odegaard. He couldn't beat Alisson, but Bukayo Saka, who was nearby, finished the job in a wonderful Gunners attack.

Arsenal's proteges failed to double the score with their chances, so they had to retrieve the ball from their goal in extra time. In a bizarre situation, Gabriel Magalhaes scored an own goal.

After the break, the game leveled off. However, in the 67th minute, Liverpool's defense responded to their first-half misunderstandings with Arsenal. Virgil van Dijk and Alisson made an incomprehensible mistake, and Martinelli sent the ball into the empty net without any obstacles.

After the missed goal, the Reds had no response. In the 88th minute, Ibrahima Konate was sent off for a second yellow card, and in extra time Leandro Trossard added a point to the match.

Arsenal reduced the gap to the Liverpool team to 2 points.
