The Gunners started slowly, with Liverpool taking the lead through Cody Gakpo's headed goal in the 10th minute.

Just two minutes later, Liverpool doubled their lead with Luis Diaz scoring his fourth goal in five league matches.

The Gunners struggled to keep up with Liverpool's pace in the first half, but managed to stay within two goals.

At the start of the second half, Arsenal made a quick comeback, with Gabriel Martinelli heading in a goal from Leandro Trossard's cross within three minutes.
