Arsenal were the league leaders going into the clash against Liverpool at Anfield, but defeat would have seen them replaced at the top by the Merseysiders. 

Gabriel Maghalaes gave the visitors an early lead, but Mohammed Salah equalised much later in the game, as both sides shared the spoils.

What Arteta said

"An unbelievable game of football, one of the most intense I've witnessed in 20 years in this league,” the Arsenal boss said after the game, per the BBC.

“For many moments we were on top; in the last 20 minutes we wanted it more, but a draw is a fair result.

"We were determined to attack and cause them problems. They are a team who cause chaos, they are so vertical and direct. They are the best in the world at doing that."
