VAR checked Ibrahima Konate’s tackle on Gabriel Martinelli in the first half of Arsenal’s crucial Premier League meeting with Liverpool – but did not consider the incident to be worthy of a penalty. It came after the Arsenal forward was brought down inside the box – sandwiched between two defenders. Along with Trent Alexander-Arnold, Konate crowded Martinelli as he attempted to keep the ball under control outside the six-yard area. Running through the Liverpool bodies, the Brazilian found himself on the floor shortly after, and their appeals were sounded. Even though Konate appeared to bring down Martinelli, VAR didn’t come…
Liverpool took on Arsenal today in a mammoth Premier League fixture with both sides competing for the title. With Manchester City top of the table heading into this game, Liverpool knew that three points would take them back to no. 1 in the Premier League standings, with the Gunners coming into this match having lost 2-0 last weekend to AFC Bournemouth. With Mikel Arteta also praising Liverpool and Arne Slot in the pre-match press conference, there has been a lot of confidence surrounding the Anfield side and their chances of getting a result at the Emirates Stadium. Yet Gary Neville…
In a thrilling encounter at Anfield today, Virgil Van Dijk produced a moment of pure magic, scoring a spectacular header that not only secured a vital equaliser for Liverpool but also sent shockwaves through the Premier League. Under the guidance of their new coach, Arne Slot, Liverpool faced off against fierce rivals Arsenal in a match that had fans on the edge of their seats. From the outset, the atmosphere was electric, with both teams eager to assert their dominance. Arsenal, fresh off a series of impressive performances, sought to maintain their title challenge, while Liverpool was determined to regain…
Liverpool will aim to maintain their position at the top of the Premier League season when they take on Arsenal on Sunday. The Reds play the third of seven games in 21 days with a trip to the Emirates. Arne Slot’s side have won 11 of their first 12 games in all competitions under their new boss and could open up a seven-point lead on their fellow title contenders with victory. Now Liverpool will hope to continue that momentum in their latest trip to London. But should Slot shake up his starting line-up? Our writers have their say… Paul Gorst…
Not for the first time during a frustrating afternoon at the Academy in Kirkby, an anguished Trey Nyoni put his hands to his head and looked up to the skies. Deep into injury-time with Liverpool seeking an equaliser to Omari Benjamin’s opener for Everton midway through the second half, the midfielder found space in the area, turned and fired a powerful shot that was parried over the crossbar by busy Blues goalkeeper Zan-Luk Leban. After a first half in which he flitted in and out of the game, Nyoni was a far more dominant presence during the second half. And…
Alexis Mac Allister would have been forgiven for thinking Wednesday wasn’t destined to be his night. From being wrongly booked early on for simulation to striking the crossbar with a fantastic long-range effort and relieved at the ability to count to two after being struck from close range by the ball in his tender regions, the Liverpool midfielder couldn’t catch a break. But even when the fates are seemingly conspiring against him, Mac Allister remains one of the most influential players in this evolving Reds team. It’s why Arne Slot had no issue instantly recalling the Argentina international for the…
Liverpool’s clashes with Chelsea have long had a habit of proving landmark moments of their respective eras. From the cup final wins under Jurgen Klopp, the Champions League tussles between Rafa Benitez and Jose Mourinho, all the way back to the Double-delivering victories in 1986 and the FA Cup wins and shock losses of earlier vintages, the fixture has regularly been pivotal in signposting the direction of travel for the Reds. And Sunday’s most recent Premier League outing maintained the theme. If there was debate over whether the visit of the Londoners represented the first real test of the Arne…
Arsenal star Bukayo Saka is apart of the squad to face Liverpool, images on social media have suggested. The England international has been a doubt for the Premier League showdown after limping off during the international break. Mikel Arteta has stressed about Arsenal’s injury problems and selection issues with captain Martin Odegaard and William Saliba out for the Reds’ visit to the Emirates Stadium on Sunday. Further doubts were cast over the inclusion of Riccardo Calafiori, Jurrien Timber and Saka as they faced a race to be fit for the early top-of-the-table clash. Images on social media surfaced showing both…
Mikel Arteta has some huge injury concerns as Arsenal prepare to welcome Liverpool to Emirates Stadium on Sunday. Arne Slot’s side come to north London having won seven of their eight Premier League games so far. With William Saliba suspended following his red card at Bournemouth last week, it’s possible Arteta will also be without a handful of first team regulars. Bukayo Saka is the main concern, with the 23-year-old last featuring for England against Greece more than two weeks ago. Jurrien Timber and Riccardo Calafiori are also huge doubts for the clash against Liverpool. “We’re going to do our…
The substitute’s intervention extended the hosts’ unbeaten run to five Premier League matches as Fulham were frustrated despite a dominant display. Alex Iwobi, on his former stomping ground, had put Marco Silva’s team deservedly ahead in the 61st minute. Fulham were spared by the assistant referee’s offside flag in the first half, when Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s effort was ruled out for offside after Idrissa Gueye had struck the woodwork. But that was the closest Everton came until Beto came up with a close-range header in the fourth minute of stoppage time. While Fulham sit 10th after stopping the rot following two…
