ARSENAL DEFEATS LIVERPOOL TO MAINTAIN TITLE CHASE.

North London Club Arsenal secured a 3-1 win over 10-man Liverpool in an energetic game at the Emirates Stadium to move within two points of the Premier League leaders and blow the title race wide open.

The hosts dominated much of the contest but gifted Liverpool a route back into the game when a defensive mix-up on the stroke of half-time saw Gabriel Magalhaes turn into his net to cancel out Bukayo Saka’s early opener.

Arsenal’s maintained pressure paid off in the second half when Gabriel Martinelli turned into an empty net after Liverpool’s Alisson Becker had charged off his line and failed to clear a long ball.

Jurgen Klopp’s side had French defender Ibrahim Konate sent off before substitute Leandro Trossard wrapped up a huge win for the Gunners in stoppage time, finishing smartly through Alisson’s legs from an acute angle.
