Arsenal moved back to the top of the Premier League table with a thrilling 3-2 victory over Liverpool at the Emirates Stadium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Going into the game, the Gunners had not tasted success against Jurgen Klopp\u2019s side in any of their previous five meetings against them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, all of Arsenal\u2019s pre-match nerves went out of the window within a minute as they took an early lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With just 58 seconds on the clock, Gabriel Martinelli latched onto a superb Martin Odegaard through-ball, before coolly finishing beyond Alisson from inside the area to shock the visitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Liverpool regained their composure and just after the half-hour mark they had their leveller as Luis Diaz\u2019s cut-back from the right flank was well converted by Darwin Nunez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The visitors were then dealt a blow in the fourth minute of first-half stoppage time, as Martinelli\u2019s low cross was tapped in at the back post by Bukayo Saka to round off a clinical Arsenal counter attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the 53rd minute and against the run of play, Liverpool equalised for the second time in the match, as half-time substitute Roberto Firmino placed an effort into the far corner from inside the penalty area after a superb through-ball from Diogo Jota to play him in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For the next half hour, Liverpool were on the ropes, and with 15 minutes left on the clock, Thiago fouled Gabriel Jesus in the box and the Gunners were awarded a penalty. Saka calmly slotted the spot-kick into the bottom-left corner to seal a famous win for Arsenal in front of their joyous supporters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
