Matchweek 36: Colney Talk | Liverpool - Arsenal
Arsenal clawed back from two goals down to draw 2-2 with champions Liverpool at Anfield. This was about Arsenal’s resilience, but their sluggish first half and defensive frailties nearly cost them dearly.
Despite a disjointed start-deflated after their Champions League exit-Arsenal showed character after halftime. Martinelli’s header sparked hope, and Merino’s rebound finish leveled the score. Yet, defensive lapses and Merino’s late red card left Arsenal hanging on, with Odegaard almost snatching a winner in stoppage time.
Liverpool’s early dominance and Gakpo’s opener exposed Arsenal’s back line, and Diaz’s quick follow-up left the Gunners reeling. But Arsenal’s fightback, even with ten men, halted Liverpool’s celebrations and extended their unbeaten away run, though doubts linger over their top-five finish hopes.
While Martinelli’s sharpness and Merino’s impact offered positives, Arsenal's inconsistency in big moments persists. Liverpool, meanwhile, saw a party atmosphere soured by a late disallowed goal. Now an even bigger challenge is upon as we could potentially lose 3 players in addition - Merino suspension and Trossard and Rice injury doubts.
Let's say a prayer for this team and hope for the best. Hoping for some more good news…until then —Up The Arsenal!
