An intense match between two Premier league Giants was a clash to behold. Unfortunately for Liverpool, they failed to stop Arsenal's unbeaten run due to Alexandre Lacazette late show with eight minutes remaining of regulation time.
With Arsenal having a slow start, Liverpool seems to capitalize every attempt at goal. Offside traps effectively set by Liverpool spoilt many of Arsenal chances to score as the red giants had seven offside violation to Liverpool's one at stoppage time.
Fifteen minutes into the second half, James Milner put a smile on the faces of Liverpool fans as Leno made a sweet cross to him to finish the job. It was a glorious moment for Liverpool as they were about to break Arsenal's streak.
On seeing their winning streak about to be cut short, the Gunners took their gameplay to another level, determined to equalize. About 4-5 minutes later Torreira took a shot that could have been the equalizer but just narrowly missed.
At the 68th and 73rd-minute mark, the brilliant Unai Emery brought in Alex Iwobi for Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Aaron Ramsey for Emerick Aubameyang.
For most of the second half of the match, Arsenal was with the ball, in a hurry to level the scores. Just before the end of regulation time, Alexandre Lacazette in his brilliance scored and sent Arsenal players and supporters into a frenzy.
On being back in the game, Arsenal continues to put pressure on Liverpool's defense in search of another goal. Danny Welbeck was close but got a handball foul.
At the close of the match, Arsenal held on to their streak having a possession of 68% to Liverpool's measly 32% on a 90-minute stretch.
Scores were 1-1 as Arsenal goes on unbeaten.
