Liverpool entertained Arsenal at Anfield earlier tonight as they hope to score all three points in the Premier League. The Reds quickly started the game and scored the opening goal in the 20th minute, when Cody Gakpo found the back of the net from close range. A minute later, Luis Diaz doubled Liverpool's advantage as Arne Slot's man entered the half-time with a 2-0 score at the scoreline.
Gabriel Martinelli scored the Gunners in the 47th minute until Mikel Merino equalized them in the 70th minute. Liverpool discovered his numerical advantage when sent by the referee in the 79th minute. However, the Reds ended up having a 2-2 score in front of their host fans.
