Mohammed Salah Shines As Arsenal Holds Liverpool To A Draw

Mohammed Salah goal ensured that Arsenal and Liverpool shared points at Anfield as the battle for top spot remains as tight as ever.

Mikel Arteta’s side took the lead in the 4th minute through Gabriel Magalhaes before Salah equalized in the 29th minute.

Chasing a first title since 2004, Arsenal sit one point clear of second placed Liverpool heading into the festive period.

Third placed Aston Villa are level on points with Liverpool, fourth placed Tottenham are three points further back, while champions Manchester City are six points adrift of the leaders with a game in hand. Liverpool are unbeaten in their past 11 games against Arsenal at Anfield.

Liverpool have now garnered two straight draws, one against Manchester United and now against Arsenal.

Klopp had urged Liverpool fans to give Arsenal the “proper Anfield experience” after saying he was unhappy with the atmosphere during Wednesday’s 5-1 rout of West Ham in the League Cup.

In the 4th minute, Martin Odegaard delivered a perfect free-kick into the Liverpool area and Gabriel rose to thump his header past Alisson Becker from eight yards. 

In the 29th minute, Liverpool equalized as Trent Alexander-Arnold’s beautiful pass picked out Salah down the right flank and he glided away from Oleksandr Zinchenko into the area before smashing a fierce strike past David Raya at his near post.
