Liverpool Sweat Out Draw At Emirates

Liverpool would be glad they were able to leave the Emirates stadium on Saturday night with a point after a fearless Arsenal tore them apart in a tenderly contested game.

It was toured as the the match it eventually turned out to be with both managers having a history from the Europa League where Unai Emery's Sevilla defeated Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool 3-1 in the final.

Arsenal started brightly and like we have seen this season, they're all round game has been a whole lot better than we have most likely see in recent years.

The Reds felt comfortable sitting deep and allowing Arsenal do the play while looking for opportunity to hit them on the break.

One of the major talking points was the ineffectiveness of Mohammed Salah who was played out of the game entirely. He was so short of the Salah we used to know.

Roberto Firmino was also not at his best with only Sadio Mane the man who came to the party of the trio.

The hosts were confident in play and passing around the ball, something that has been lacking in their game in the late Wenger era as was obvious with the calm play from the back.

The first half ended in a draw with both teams finding it difficult to make the final stroke although Liverpool hit the post twice and had a Mane goal ruled out for offside.

Alexandre Lacazette also thought he had scored but saw his goal correction ruled out for an offside.

James Milner put the visitors in front just after the hour break with a cool finish from 15 yards out after Leno had punched a Mane cross onto his path.

Arsenal had to wait till the 82 died minute tí get their equaliser when substitute, Alex Iwobi played a fine through ball into the path of Alexandre Lacazette who partly rounded Alisson in goal and with his back to goal, took a curling shot to the far corner on the turn.

The home side are yet to be defeated in 14 games in all completion while Liverpool since the 2007/2008 season have their best start to the season as they are yet to lose a match in 11 games.
