Arsenal faced Liverpool in a match with implications for the Premier League title race. Saka scored early for Arsenal, but a defensive error led to an own goal, leveling the score. Martinelli then capitalized on a mistake by Van Dijk and Alisson to put Arsenal ahead. Trossard sealed the win with a deflected strike. Liverpool's lethargic performance was evident, and they suffered their first Premier League loss since September. Arsenal's victory has reinvigorated their title aspirations and tightened the race.

Arsenal is back in the Premier League title race! Go Gunners! https://t.co/g6OppYqO7e
Arsenal better team from start to finish. #LFC miles off it. They have played so well for so long with key players out, but not today. Gifted their only goal, and they gave it right back. Still in good shape, but race has tightened.
Great win #COYG
At full time Odegaard & Havertz were flat on their backs. Rice & Jorginho on their knees. The latter now dancing as they soak up the noise from their lap of honour. A mad game of football - a huge win for Arsenal. They're over that difficult run. Right back in the title race.
What a huge win for Arsenal! Here's how the Premier League table looks now! π #ARSLIV
Massive 3 pts for @Arsenal against @LFC - huge performance from the entire team. This league keeps you on your toes every week. North London forever! #COYG
FT: Arsenal 3 #LFC 1: A blow to Liverpool's title hopes as they lose in the PL for the first time since September. Got what deserved today. Handed a foothold with Gabriel's OG cancelling out Saka's opener just before HT but nowhere near their usual levels and paid the price.
Chaos football is back! And Arsenal are all the better for it. Some outstanding individual performances - Jorginho the master of control, Rice a force in midfield, Martinelli's indefatigable running, and shouts too for excellent sub appearances from Trossard and Kiwior. #AFC π₯
What a goal! Trossard! Nutmegged the GK! #COYG
3-1 Arsenal! Game. Over. Tremendous run and finish from Trossard with his left peg. Arteta sprints down the line like a mad man. Klopp turns away and laughs.
#afc 3-1 #lfc Trossard, who does brilliantly to create the opening, fires a shot which goes through Alisson as if he isn't there. Took a slight deflection off Van Dijk.

This game has turned on its head. Liverpool peppering the Arsenal goal in the first three minutes of the second half. Diaz finding so much space down the left. Arsenal look in shock that they're not ahead. They better wake up or they'll be behind soon.
46' - Back underway for the second half π π΄ [1-1] π£ | #ARSLIV
That is calamitous Arsenal. They were in total control of the game but have just gifted Liverpool parity before half time. Saliba trying to shepherd the ball back to Raya but Diaz gets around him and pokes the ball away. Raya never came for it. Goes in off Gabriel.
Liverpool really needed that scruffy goal just before the half. Arsenal were dominant in the first half. Now, it's anyone's game.
#afc 1-1 #lfc Poor defending from Saliba when trying to keep Diaz away from the ball but it goes in off Gabriel's hand. Own goal.
Declan Rice has been an absolute beast in midfield today. He has won the ball back a ridiculous amount of times. Limitless performance. Same goes for the running Martinelli has put it on the left flank. Some miles being clocked up by those two.
Liverpool look lethargic. Klopp said after the game on Wednesday he got into the dressing room and said they looked wrecked.
Arsenal started fast like this in the FA Cup game here but didn't score. Today they have. Liverpool yet to find an answer to the home side's relentless press but they got stronger as the game wore on last month.

SAKA!! Finishes the rebound. Goal is confirmed. Huge goal for @Arsenal #COYG #ARSLIV
Arsenal look in sensational form early, nice goal Saka ππΎ
1-0 Arsenal! Great move sees Odegaard put Havertz through on goal. Alisson makes the save but Saka scores the follow up. Been a good start from Arsenal. Unlike the cup game here they've got something to show for it.
