Liverpool cuts Arsenal’s hot streak with a 4-0 win at Anfield

The dream and the streak of the Spanish Mikel Arteta and his Arsenal are over. It was taken ahead by a Liverpool that proved to be a step above the Gunners and that not even a great Aaron Ramsdale could stop this time (4-0).

The English goal, international with the absolute, was the reason why Arsenal didn’t take an even bigger win from Anfield, although there was little he could do to try to avoid the goals from Sadio Mané, Diogo Jota, Mohamed Salah and Takumi Minamino who decided the game.

The Arsenal was containing the Reds until the boiler that is Anfield exploded, thanks to a scuffle in the band between a heated Arteta, who had to be held, and Jürgen Klopp. The cause? A clash in the air between Tomiyasu and Mané. This action woke up the stands and Liverpool, who had waited patiently until then, began to roar.

Ramsdale, blessed since he arrived at Arsenal this summer for 40 million, was in charge of stopping the revolt. A double save to Mané, first on a volley and then from the ground, later blocking Salah at point-blank range and finally a hand to Alexander-Arnold from inside the area. Even the English laughed because everything was coming out for him.

But everything has a limit. Free kick in the box by Alexander-Arnold, the ball reaches the far post free and Mané accompanies him with his head to the network. The game fell to Arsenal, which began to unravel a lot more and, above all, to make serious errors in defense and in the exit of the ball.

In a recklessness of Nuno Tavares, who tried to come out from behind by dribbling, the second came. The Portuguese made a mistake when making a horizontal pass at the height of his area, He gave the ball to Jota and he left a defender, Ramsdale, and scored an empty goal.

Arsenal broke down even more and Liverpool’s trident took advantage of it, which in a great triangulation between Jota and Mané, left only the Senegalese in the area to serve Salah the third, breaking a streak of three games without seeing the door.

Those of Klopp had fun, already with the three points achieved and without pressure, and in another masterful combination within the area, Takumi Minamino finished off a low pass from Alexander-Arnold to round out Liverpool’s beating.

Thus ends Arsenal’s ten-game unbeaten streak, which, even so, has lost by a landslide against Chelsea, Manchester City and Liverpool, the three great candidates for the Premier this year. The Gunners they remain fifth, with 20 points, while Liverpool climbs to second position (25) to four points behind Chelsea.
