Arsenal 1 1, Premier League referee sparks controversy 2 penalties were not awarded

On the 24th Beijing time, Liverpool will host Arsenal at Anfield, which is a very important game. In the first half, Gabriel scored a goal and Salah volleyed the ball into a draw. A series of mistakes by Odegaard and Zinchenko were tackled in the second half, before Trent Alexander-Arnold fired a powerful shot at the post. In the end, Liverpool and Arsenal played 1-1 and drew 2.

First, after a draw between the two sides, Arsenal secured the top spot with 40 points and won the title of "League Christmas", while Liverpool was in second place with 39 points.

Second, Arsenal have not beaten Liverpool in 11 years, with their last win coming in 2012, 2-0, followed by four draws and seven defeats.

Thirdly, Salah scored 12 goals, 7 assists and 19 goals for Liverpool, the most players in Liverpool history, with 121 goals (88 goals, 33 assists), surpassing Steven Gerrard and becoming the greatest footballer in England's history.

Last season, the supremacy of the Premier League was weakened, which gave Arsenal and Liverpool hope of fighting for top spot in the league, and now they are both in the top two, so this round of the battle has become a battle for first place.

Villa won at home to Sheffield before the game began, and in this game against Liverpool, they only need a draw to keep top of the table, and Liverpool will need to win this game if they want to reach the top.

In the 4th minute, Ode's free-kick was passed into the penalty area, Gabriel grabbed a beautiful goal in front of goal, and Arsenal started their dream 1-0.

In the 20th minute, Odegaard broke the ball in his own small area in his own small area, and then a Liverpool player extended his arm to him and gave him a penalty, but the referee did not react.

In the 28th minute, Trent Alexander-Arnold played a long ball and Salah broke through Zinchenko's defence and volleyed it into 1-1.

Arsenal had a chance to attack in the 41st minute when Bukayo Saka's one-handed ball from outside the box was denied by Alisson, before Martinelli followed up.

The two sides ended in a draw at half-time.

Technically, Liverpool only had a 55 per cent advantage in possession, but their goals were 4-7, 1-2, 1-2 free-kicks, 1-0 good chances, and in many ways inferior to Arsenal, but the 1-1 draw was also shown by both sides in the first half.

Liverpool continued to attack in the second half, while Arsenal were under intense pressure in defence.

In the 53rd minute, Zinchenko made a similar mistake again when Salah tried to send the ball into the opposition penalty area, but it was saved by Rice.

Liverpool played a five-on-two in the 71st minute and eventually Trent Alexander-Arnold missed a good chance when it hit the post.

Kai Havertz was brought down in the 80th minute when he burst into the opposition, but the referee did nothing and Liverpool were also awarded a penalty opportunity. In the end, the two sides fought to a 1-1 draw.
