Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool Triumph Over Arsenal
Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool Triumph Over Arsenal. The Premier League champions continued their 100% start to the season. Arteta’s Arsenal have lost their first game of the season after winning their opening two games. Liverpool, along with Leicester City and Everton are the only 3 sides to win all of their games so far this campaign.
Liverpool and Arsenal both hand 100% records on the line as they faced off last night. In what was always going to be a tense game, Arsenal took the lead through Alexandre Lacazette. Andy Robertson’s defensive mishap allowed the French strike to bundle the ball past a helpless Alisson Becker.
The lead was short lived as Mane found the back of Arsenal’s net just 3 minutes later. Mo Salah breezed past Kieran Tierney and his shot which Bernd Leno parried fell right into Mane’s path. The Senegalese levelling matters.
Andy Robertson toned for his earlier error when he found himself unmarked in the penalty area. Trent Alexander-Arnold found the Scotland captain with a pinpoint cross. Robertson making no mistake when faced with Bernd Leno.
The second half was a dogged affair. Liverpool dominated large parts of the game. Limiting Arsenal to only two shots on targets in the encounter.
Liverpool new man Diogo Jota scored the third goal in the 88th minute. The Portuguese international made his Premier League debut for Liverpool. He found the back of the net from the edge of the penalty area. His shot skewing away from a static Bernd Leno.
The 3-1 victory keeps Liverpool level on points with Everton and Leicester City. Liverpool are also the only team outside of the “Big Six” not to have dropped points thus far in the campaign.
The Reds laid down a statement of intent as Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool triumph over Arsenal.
