Gunners take advantage of Alisson hair-raiser to ignite title race.

The premier league this weekend had a turn of events following the sudden defeat of Liverpool and Chelsea.

It was a great weekend for Arsenal and Manchester United following their three-goal win and Arsenal had a better shot at getting a chance at the title race.

Arsenal began as the hungrier side, the team with the momentum, and that energy paid off as Bukayo Saka pounced on a rebound from Kai Havertz’s shot to break the deadlock.

Arsenal’s dominance grew after the opener, and there were several openings.

However, the Emirates was left stunned seconds before the break as Luis Díaz caused indecision between William Saliba and Raya, capitalising by poking the ball in off Gabriel Magalhães’ hand.

In the second half, the seesaw battle continued, and Arsenal reclaimed the lead after Liverpool’s defensive mishap. 

Van Dijk and Alisson collided with Gabriel’s long ball, allowing Martinelli to score into the empty net. Konaté received a second yellow card in the 88th minute, and Liverpool’s woes deepened as Leandro Trossard’s shot went through Alisson’s legs, securing Arsenal’s third straight victory. 

Mikel Arteta celebrated wildly as his team narrowed the gap to Liverpool at the top of the PL table to just two points.

The Gunners not only intensified the title race but also handed Liverpool their first defeat in 12 matches across all competitions.

Even after the hurtful defeat, Liverpool is still leading the Premieum league with 51 points, Arsenal are closely behind with 49 points. Manchester City and Aston Villa are third and fourth respectively with 46 points.

Manchester City will today take on Brentford at 11 p.m. at the Gtech Community Stadium. Brentford currently holds the 15th position in the table with only 22 points to their name.
