Mohamed Salah’s late equaliser earned Liverpool a 2-2 draw with rivals Arsenal in an entertaining Premier League encounter at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday.
Bukayo Saka gave Arsenal the lead in the ninth minute with a fierce strike, before Virgil van Dijk equalised nine minutes later, nodding home a Luis Diaz flick-on from a corner.
Mikel Merino scored his first Arsenal goal just before half-time, meeting Declan Rice’s free-kick with a bullet header that was upheld after a lengthy VAR review.
The Reds improved after the break and Salah tapped home in the 81st minute to earn a draw that puts them second with 22 points from nine games, one point behind Manchester City.
Arsenal move into third with 18 points.
