THE GUNNERS ARE LEVEL!!
Alexander-Arnold was booed on his first touch, and then he gives away possession - he then played goalscorer Merino onside.
The Spaniard was alive to stoop home and head past Alisson after the Liverpool goalkeeper had touched Odegaard's strike onto the post.
Premier League writers couldn't come up with such a script!
Gary Neville told Sky Sports: "What a response in the second half from Mikel Arteta's men.
"He's being played on by Liverpool's right-back.
"Merino runs late.
Arsenal, out of nowhere, it's a brilliant second half from them."

Alexander-Arnold is on and boos ring out around Anfield - there is a smattering of applause from select Liverpool fans in response.
The wantaway defender replaces Bradley in a like-for-like change, but Liverpool fans continue to sign the latter's name as he comes off.
Elsewhere, Slot has sent on Nunez and Mac Allister for Jones and Gakpo.

Conor Bradley is shown a yellow card for bundling into Myles Lewis-Skelly just outside the box as his second-half struggles continue.
The resulting set-piece falls kindly for Gabriel Martinelli to fire into a crowd, but his Brazil teammate Alisson reacts quickly to save.
How much longer before we see Trent Alexander-Arnold?

Arsenal fans have been fuming at Liverpool supporters over a controversial banner of Mikel Arteta.
‘Always the bridesmaid, never the Bride’ was a banner in the Kop end before kick-off, with Arteta holding a bouquet while wearing a dress.
One fan wrote on X, formerly Twitter: "That Arteta bridesmaid banner is cringe ngl."
Another said: "The Arteta banner is classless, I can’t lie - Do you think we’d be mocking up Pep or Slot as Humpty Dumpty or some other bald egg if we won the league?"
A third added: "Nah that Arteta banner is a foul lmao if you think I’m supporting stomping on a bleeding guy on the floor you’re right."

THE BRAZILIAN PULLS ONE BACK!
Within two minutes of the restart, Martinelli guides a header into the far post.
Bradley stands off Trossard, who cuts inside and stands up a cross that sails over Konate.
Martinelli gets between the two Liverpool centre-backs, and his flicked header catches out Alisson.
Martinelli has scored six goals against Liverpool in all competitions (4 of which have been at Anfield), his joint-most against an opponent for Arsenal (also 6 v Crystal Palace).

Arsenal have conceded two goals in the opening 21 minutes of a Premier League match for the first time this season.
In fact, it is the first overall since April 2023 v Southampton.
Liverpool's xG of 1.95 is most Arsenal have faced in the 1st half of a PL game since August 2021 v Chelsea (2.18).

Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis appeared to argue with Nuno Espirito Santo on the pitch moments after the full-time whistle against Leicester.
Gary Neville was dismayed by the incident and said: "Scandalous from that Forest owner.
"Nuno should go and negotiate his exit tonight with him!
The Forest fans, players and manager do not deserve that."

SO QUICK ONE AFTER THE OTHER!!
Salah turns provider this time with a ball over the top for Szoboszlai, who squares for Diaz to slide in number two into an empty net.
There were just 87 seconds between Cody Gakpo putting Liverpool 1-0 up and Luis Díaz doubling their lead against Arsenal.

THE REDS STRIKE FIRST!!
Huge relief from Gakpo, who had wasted a huge opportunity to give the home side the lead moments earlier.
A long-ball from Robertson had released the Dutchman through on goal over the top, and a simple square for Salah looked to be 1-0.
However, Gakpo selfishly tried to go alone and was crowded out by the Arsenal backline, but the danger wasn't fully dealt with.
Robertson recycles play and drills in a near-post cross for Gakpo to plant a header past Raya.
Robertson's assist is his first of the season in the Premier League, with what was the 39th different chance he's created.
He last registered an assist against Sheffield United last April, 402 days ago.

LUIS DIAZ IS DENIED BY DAVID RAYA!
Mohamed Salah seems destined to get an assist that would put him on the cusp of Thierry Henry's record, but somehow Diaz doesn't score.
It's a lovely ball from the outside of Curtis Jones' boot to find Salah in the box, and the Egyptian unselfishly tees up his teammate.
Diaz has time to steady himself almost in the six-yard box but somehow can't beat a diving Raya.

BUKAYO SAKA MISSES A HUGE OPPORTUNITY!
It's a well-worked free-kick routine that catches out the home side, as the majority of Arsenal players all stand offside in the book.
Liverpool attempt to spring the trap by rushing out early, but Saka arrives from deep as Odegaard clips a cross to the back post.
It's timed so Saka is onside and unmarked at the back post, but he rolls his first-time half volley wide of the far post.

Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis is on the pitch at full-time after his side are held to a 2-2 draw by relegated Leicester.
It looks like he's saying a few choice words to Nuno Espirito Santo - the home fans respond by singing their manager's name.
Meanwhile, it's now nine Premier League defeats at home for United this season.
That hasn't happened since 1962.
West Ham arrived without a win in eight matches, but Graham Potter claims a massive scalp to leapfrog the Red Devils in the table.
And finally, it's Premier League defeat number 20 of the season for Spurs as they fall to just above the three relegated clubs.

BOWEN DOUBLES THE HAMMERS LEAD!
The home side are caught cold on the counter-attack as the combination of Kudus and Wan-Bissaka comes up trumps again.
This time, it's the latter who pulls the ball back in the box, and Bowen is unmarked at the back post to tap home from close range.
It's gone from bad to worse for Ruben Amorim, who had already lost Leny Yoro through injury ten minutes earlier.

A HUGE MOMENT FOR WOOD TO BREAK HIS BARREN RUN!
Forest captain Morgan Gibbs-White, who scored the level, now has an assist as the home side come from behind to lead.
He lifts a brilliant looping cross deep into the box for Wood to plant a header inside the near post for his 20th goal of the season.

EZE IS AT THE DOUBLE TO DOWN SPURS!
The England star has scored five goals in his past four games and just can't stop finding the back of the net at the moment.
Eze started and finished a sweeping Palace counter-attack after an outside of the boot pass releases Ismaila Sarr in behind.
The latter continues his run into the box and pulls it back for Eze to tuck into the bottom far corner.

Manchester United are 45 minutes away from a ninth home defeat of the season.
Meanwhile, West Ham are on course to end their eight-match winless run - Tomas Soucek's goal has them ahead at the break.
Elsewhere, Crystal Palace take a slender advantage into the second-half after Eberechi Eze scored for the third game in a row.
And finally, it's honours even between Nottingham Forest and Leicester in the east-Midlands derby.

THIRD TIME LUCKY!
Minutes earlier, Maxence Lacroix has the ball in the back of the net, but his goal was chalked off for flicking the arm of Marc Guehi.
Jean-Philippe Mateta, the man responsible for the first disallowed goal, engineers this one after releasing Daniel Munoz.
He squares it for Eze to roll into an empty net.
VAR has another look to see if there's any reason to disallow a third Palace goal, but eventually the visiting fans are allowed to celebrate.

OLD TRAFFORD IS SILENCED!!
Wan-Bissaka threads a clever ball down the line into the box for Kudus to run towards the byline.
He smashes a low ball across the six-yard box, and Soucek gets in front of Amass to turn the ball home, an inch from the goal-line.

Huge blow for Spurs as Dejan Kulusevski goes off injured!
The Swede has struggled for fitness in 2025, and lasts less than 20 minutes at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
His potential absence can't be understated enough, with the Europa League final just around the corner.
James Maddison is already confirmed to be sidelined for Bilbao, and now Kulusevski could be confined to the treatment room as well.
He's withdrawn for teenager Mikey Moore.
