Arsenal Claw Back to Draw in Dramatic Clash with Liverpool
Arsenal had fans on the edge of their seats Sunday evening as they battled back from a two-goal deficit to grab a 2-2 draw against Liverpool in a rollercoaster match at Anfield.
Even though the Reds have already wrapped up the league title, Mikel Arteta’s men still had plenty on the line. A top-four finish isn’t guaranteed yet, and every point counts.
The match kicked off with a nightmare start for the Gunners. Cody Gakpo and Luiz Diaz struck early for Liverpool, giving the home side a commanding lead before the break. But Arsenal didn’t fold.
A spirited second-half comeback saw Gabriel Martinelli pull one back with a sharp finish, and Mikel Merino leveled the score, breathing new life into Arsenal’s Champions League hopes. Even after Merino was later shown red, Arsenal dug deep and held firm to walk away with a hard-earned point.
Elsewhere, it was a tough day at the office for Chelsea. Nicolas Jackson was sent off after a reckless elbow, and Newcastle made them pay with two unanswered goals. That result casts more doubt over Chelsea’s chances of securing European football next season.
Manchester United also stumbled at Old Trafford, falling 2-0 to West Ham in front of a frustrated home crowd. Tottenham didn’t fare any better either—they were outplayed and shut out by Crystal Palace in another 2-0 result.
Here’s how the day played out on the pitch:
-
Liverpool 2–2 Arsenal
-
Man United 0–2 West Ham
-
Nottingham Forest 2–2 Leicester
-
Tottenham 0–2 Crystal Palace
-
Newcastle 2–0 Chelsea
It was a weekend of twists, red cards, and comeback drama—and with the season winding down, nothing is settled just yet.
