At FC Arsenal in London, the team of coach Jürgen Klopp lost on Sunday after an early deficit in an intensive duel with 2: 3 (1: 2). For Liverpool it was the third league game in a row without a win. Arsenal took the lead over Manchester City again thanks to their home win.

The Gunners took the lead in their own stadium after just one minute through Gabriel Martinelli. However, Liverpool were only briefly impressed and tried to counteract this. The Klopp team was evenly matched for long stretches in the Emirates Stadium and Darwin Núñez (34th minute) scored a well-deserved equalizer.

However, England international Bukayo Saka (45+5) put the hosts back in front before the break. The Londoners ultimately scored with the first and last action of the first half. The narrow lead corresponded very well to the experienced balance of power.
