Liverpool’s 2-0 win over Arsenal reduced Manchester City’s lead over the Premier League leaders to one point. After looking at Arsenal, Liverpool came to a step closer to Premier League leaders Manchester City as an impressive winner. Liverpool has won nine games in the Premier League, while Arsenal remains fourth, one point ahead of Manchester United, with two games remaining. Liverpool has conceded two of their nine goals in a row. The victory means nine consecutive league wins and one point behind Manchester City in the same number of games.
Liverpool reduced the gap at the top of the table and won the league match by beating the mighty Arsenal, scoring two goals in eight minutes to secure the victory despite the poor performance. It was a showdown between the two most powerful teams: Liverpool, with eight consecutive league victories, and a mighty Arsenal who won five league games continuously before this defeat. The final whistle confirmed Liverpool as winners.
After all Liverpool’s good work, Liverpool’s patience proved to be decisive, with Diogo Jota breaking the stalemate just minutes after Jurgen Klopp‘s pulled Salah and Roberto Firmino off the bench. However, Jurgen Klopp’s defence held up during the assault and allowed the Reds to bide their time until Arsenal made a mistake.
Arsenal, well-fought for a top-four finish, pushed Liverpool to the max until Jurgen Klopp ruthlessly took over after the break. Arsenal harassed Jurgen Klopp during the first 45 minutes at the Emirates, with the Gunners midfield in control. Arsenal went on tiptoe with clinical Liverpool in the first 45 minutes, full of confidence after a five-game winning streak that took them to fourth place. Having beaten Arsenal in their last five league matches, Arsenal largely dominated the first half. Still, the game’s turning point came early in a frantic second half as clinical Liverpool extended their streak of nine league wins. Arsenal started the game and did their best to limit Liverpool’s passing game in the first 45 minutes with tackles and long fast counterattacks.
A 0-0 score began to look like a solid result for Liverpool against Arsenal at half-time. After the break, Liverpool’s class showed themselves as they took control first of Diogo Jota and then Roberto Firmino for their ninth successive Premier League win. Minutes later, substitute Roberto Firmino scored 2-0 to send Jurgen Klopp one point behind Manchester City to the top of the Premier League table.
Liverpool played the rest of the game professionally as it ended 2-0 and Liverpool are now just one point behind league leaders Manchester City with nine games left each. Both the teams will go head to head on the 10th of April at Etihad.
On Saturday, Arsenal will visit Aston Villa for their Premier League match.
