Player ratings: Liverpool 1-1 Arsenal

Arsenal ensured they would be top of the table at Christmas with a point at Anfield on Saturday evening.

The Gunners went blow for blow with Liverpool and Gabriel headed in the opener just four minutes in. The game then ebbed and flowed between the two sides, with Mo Salah taking advantage of poor Oleksandr Zinchenko defending to equalise in the first half.

The second half was again fairly even and I think a draw was a fair result.
