**London, England -** Arsenal and Liverpool fought to a 2-2 draw at the Emirates Stadium in a thrilling Premier League encounter on Sunday night.
The Gunners made a blistering start, with Bukayo Saka opening the scoring early on after a clever run and finish. However, Liverpool responded quickly through a Virgil van Dijk header from a set piece.
Arsenal dominated the first half and regained the lead before the break thanks to a powerful header from Mikel Merino. The second half started with bad news for Arsenal, as Gabriel was forced off with an injury.
Liverpool capitalized on the disruption, equalizing through a slick combination between Mohamed Salah and Darwin Nunez. The goal set up a tense finish, with both sides pushing for a winner, but neither could find a way through.
Mikel Arteta, the Arsenal manager, was “very proud” of his team’s performance despite the draw. “I think we deserved to win the game,” he said. “We were the better team, but we didn’t [win].”
Liverpool manager Arne Slot praised the Gunners’ performance but was pleased with his side’s comeback. “In my opinion Arsenal [are the] first team better than us,” Slot said. “If you look at the first half they deserved to be one up.
