Anfield pushes
Liverpool fans feel that their team is in a good period.
GOMEZ ALMOST SCORE HIS FIRST PRO GOAL!
The one-night left-back steps onto his right foot and rolls, but it goes to the wrong side of the post.
Salah’s strike slowed
The Egyptian could undoubtedly have shot without control. Liverpool have in any case raised their level, and are recovering the balls higher and higher.
Rice is warned
We often describe the same fault when we describe a yellow card today: clashing to block a transition.
Szoboszlai doesn’t take his chance from afar
However, he was able to throw it full axis and had a very good shot. He prefers to shift Salah, missing his pass.
Here we go again !
No change at halftime.
1-1 at the break between Liverpool and Arsenal!
The Gunners quickly took the lead thanks to a header from Gabriel from a free kick, but Salah reset the counters by cutting back, from the right onto his left foot obviously. This shock keeps its promises, with a big fight and even a controversial action with a hand from Odegaard in his area.
And yellow card for Havertz too
Fault on Endo, less serious than that of the Japanese a few seconds earlier.
Endo is notified
The Japanese hooks Martinelli with his arms to stop a transition.
Gomez passes on the left
The path to goal seems open to attempt the mid-range shot, but the defender has never scored as a professional and prefers to attempt a not-obvious cross which is pushed away.
BIG OPPORTUNITY FOR ARSENAL!
Saka arrives launched into the area, but is well offset by Alisson. The ball arrives at Martinelli, who slips a little and does not find the target while the Liverpool defense has repositioned itself.
Saka is warned
Intervention a little too muscular to cut off a transition in midfield (and perhaps accumulation after Gomez’s exit).
Tsimikas’ shoulder obviously did not resist
The left side is replaced by right-hander Joe Gomez.
Tsimikas tackle… Klopp
The Greek is pushed by Saka and causes his trainer to fall. Dark look from the Liverpool coach towards the Arsenal winger.
WRONG EQUALISE!
A purely Salah goal, with Zinchenko lost from start to finish: first lobbed on a long ball, he is then dribbled by the Egyptian who steps on his left foot and hits the top corner. 1-1!
Liverpool are better, but still lacking a little accuracy
Jones, for example, has solutions on a transition, but prefers to try the long shot blocked by a defender.
Salah asks for a hand
On his control oriented at the entrance to the area, Odegaard was leaning and made a small gesture towards the ball. Strange situation that we see again after a long Arsenal possession, but which is not sanctioned by the video.
Saliba protects the ball in front of Gakpo
Raya takes a little time to come out to grab it, but the French central defender was calm. Like always.
SALAH DOES NOT FRAM IN A CLOSED ANGLE!
The Egyptian is present at the far post to catch a ball which arrives to him after a deviation in the duel in front of him. He could perhaps have tried with his right foot rather than taking with his left. It ends in the small outside net.
Gabriel Jesus cannot find the target
Transition well played by the Gunners, who shift their attacker to the right of the area. The Brazilian’s shot went over Alisson, who seemed to be on target.
Arsenal manages to break free
It was complicated on this defensive corner, but the Gunners got through it.
The Reds did not enter the match
Like Tsimikas, who uses his hand irregularly to push aside an opponent and try to keep the ball.
It’s validated !
Gabriel celebrates again, 0-1 for Arsenal!
The goal is examined in the video
Gabriel is on the verge of offside. We will have to take out the rules and the squares…
ARSENAL ALREADY FINDS THE FAILURE!
The Gunners put the pressure on from the start and were rewarded with a free kick. Alisson hesitates to come out, and Gabriel adjusts a header close to the post!
Alisson is already involved!
In the first minute, the Liverpool goalkeeper slammed a fleeing cross from his left with his cuff.
The ball comes back to a Gunner who shoots at the edge of the area, but whose shot is deflected off target.
On the corner, Alisson catches a weak header.
Let’s go for this shock!
A point difference between these two teams and a big match looming!
Nice atmosphere when the players enter
If Anfield sometimes goes dark during matches (as is often the case in England), the chants are always well taken up before kick-off.
