Salah missed penalty, Liverpool drew dramatically with Arsenal

Excited after 7 consecutive victories, Arsenal launched an overwhelming attack on Liverpool right after the opening whistle. The pressure the Gunners created was realized in the 8th minute. Center-back Van Dijk fumbled the ball, allowing Martinelli to run up and face goalkeeper Alisson. The Brazilian striker skillfully finished to open the score.

20 minutes later, it was Gabriel Jesus' turn to shine with a high header, doubling Arsenal's lead. The assist was provided by Martinelli. This was a situation where Van Dijk continued to play poorly and made a positioning error.

It seemed that Liverpool would lose their fighting spirit after conceding two early goals, but once again, Mohamed Salah shone at the right time. In the 42nd minute, Jota crossed from the left wing, the ball bounced past many players on both sides, reaching Salah's position. Liverpool's number 11 easily shortened the score to 1-2.

Salah misses penalty, Liverpool draws Arsenal - 1 — Salah was both a hero with a goal and also blameworthy for missing a penalty.

In the second half, Liverpool entered the match with high spirits, continuously forcing Arsenal back into their own half. In the 52nd minute, Holding fouled Jota in the penalty area, the referee immediately pointed to the penalty spot. Unfortunately, Salah's shot missed the post.

In the remaining minutes, coach Jurgen Klopp sent Nunez, Thiago and Firmino onto the field to increase the attacking power. In the 81st minute, Salah passed the ball very well for Nunez to face Ramsdale. Unfortunately, the Uruguayan striker's shot was too weak.

Liverpool fans did not have to regret that miss for long. In the 87th minute, Alexander-Arnold crossed the ball accurately for Firmino to head home, equalizing 2-2. In the extra minutes, The Kop continued to put pressure on, but Ramsdale played brilliantly. The Arsenal goalkeeper had at least 2 incredible saves, keeping a point for the visitors.

This result helps Arsenal continue to maintain the top position in the Premier League with 6 points more than Man City but having played 1 more game. Liverpool is in 8th place and will have to make a great effort if they want to play in the European Cup next season.
