Player ratings: Liverpool 2-2 Arsenal

Arsenal left Anfield with one point after a crazy Sunday afternoon fixture that eventually ended 2-2.

The Gunners started incredibly well, taking the lead through Martinelli and then Gabriel Jesus doubled that lead.

Predictably Liverpool fought back though, with Salah poking home at a crucial point, minutes before the halftime break.

Liverpool then dominated the second half, missing a penalty and some huge chances, but Robert Firmino headed in a late equaliser.

There was still time for more drama though and Ramsdale ensured Arsenal left with a point after a couple of massive saves, and the Gunners could’ve even left with all three with a late breakaway chance.

With eight games to go and a clash with Manchester City at The Etihad to come, the title is now in both Manchester City and Arsenal’s hands.
