3 to 1! In the 23rd round of the Premier League, while scoring three goals with Saka, Martinelli and Trossard, he also gave the opponent an own goal by the way, and Arsenal, which was playing at home, defeated the leader Liverpool 3-1! Jurgen Klopp announced that he would no longer continue to coach Liverpool at the end of the season. Maybe, maybe not, but whether it is or not, after losing this game, not only does it make its top position precarious, but it also exposes the situation that the team has "again" reached the end of the strong crossbow! Perhaps this game, which could decide the title of the season, will ultimately send Guardiola to a new altar ......
Before the game, leading Arsenal and Manchester City with one less game 5 points, as long as Liverpool can win the game at the Emirates Stadium, it will basically change the Premier League title battle this season from a "threesome" to a "two-person turn" with Manchester City, if so, the goal can be "locked", Klopp will be relatively "easy" to win the second league title for the owner before leaving Liverpool for nine years in charge; And Arteta is also thinking, last season almost in the leader position for a whole season, but at the last moment by the master Guardiola "copied the back road", fell short, the beginning of the season sang and soared, the result of a wave of winless and the top position aside, now on the road to the championship has fallen behind, if you lose this matchup, Arsenal fans may have to experience the feeling of "dog bite urine bubble - empty joy" early.
Therefore, neither Klopp nor Arteta will be willing to accept losing this matchup! As soon as the game started, Arsenal took the leadIn the 14th minute, Havertz won the ball in front of the field almost into a single knife, in the face of Alisson's blocking, Havertz's push shot was blocked, and the ball fell right at the feet of Saka, who followed up on the right side, and the latter easily made up the empty goal, 1-0! Arsenal get off to a dream start.
After falling behind by one goal, Liverpool immediately launched a fierce counterattack, and the "new Red Arrows trio" composed of Dias, Gakpo and Jota quickly began to counterattack, and the Arsenal midfielder was also in a hurry. It wasn't until the third minute of first-half stoppage time that Arsenal's pressed defence finally revealed its holesIn the 45+3rd minute of the game, in the face of Dias's "unreasonable" raw penalty area, the Arsenal back line made a collective mistake, and the ball passed through Raya's crotch and Gabriel, who was accidentally supplemented, touched the goal, oolong! 1 to 1! Liverpool smiled and equalized unexpectedly!
In the second half, Arsenal, who fought at home and accidentally lost the goal at the end of the first half, was obviously unwilling to lose a goal, seeing that although Liverpool seemed to be offensive, in fact, there was no chance to threaten the goal, and Arsenal's counterattack became more and more sharpIn the 67th minute, Liverpool's defender Van Dijk collided with his goalkeeper Alisson when the ball came from the penalty area, but the ball was left to Martinelli, who was "yellow finches behind". 2 to 1! Arsenal put the score out of the scoring again!
After the accidental goal was equalized, he unexpectedly smiled and exceeded the score again, and there seemed to be a force hinting at the trend of this game. The morale-boosting Arsenal gunners of course were unforgiving, taking the opportunity to launch a fierce attack on the frustrated Reds, Liverpool had only the ability to parry for a while, and in the 88th minute of the game, Liverpool was hit again, and Konate ate the second yellow card of the game in the defense, two yellows turned into one red and was sent off! The score is behind and there is one less player, the opponent's momentum is flourishing again, and Liverpool's general trend has gone! Sure enough,In the second minute of stoppage time, Trossard passed the Liverpool defender and pushed through the crotch to score, 3-1! Arsenal sealed the winning ......
At the end of this campaign, Liverpool continued to rank first with 51 points, but the lead has "shrunk" to only 2 points! Arsenal also temporarily overtook Manchester City to move into the table with a three-point advantage. Of course, whether it is these three points or two points, they are built on the basis of two more games than Manchester City, and Arteta's victory not only narrows the gap between the top of the table, but also does his master Pep Guardiola a small favor! Perhaps, Manchester City will return to the top of the table after the two "make-up games", as we all know, once Manchester City on the way to the championship snatched the top position, it is too difficult for others to snatch it back from Guardiola!
Could Arteta's victory be a wedding dress made for his master? God knows! Pep Guardiola wants to lead Manchester City to break the record of the longest Premier League triple title of the old man Alex Ferguson, everyone knows! Similarly, Klopp's departure from Liverpool at the end of the season has also been announced to the world, winning the most important Premier League title of the season, which can be regarded as a successful end to his nine years of Red Army years, but the result of this game seems to tell us that Klopp's announcement to the world seems to be really ...... earlyAnd Arteta, is this victory considered a horizontal bar? Arsenal 3-1 Liverpool
