For a heavyweight clash the game was fairly unremarkable, Arsenal shading the first half - the reds the much more potent in the second - and it was makeshift right back Dominik Szoboszlai who came up with a real match-winner to take all the points. Alexis Mac Allister replaced Curtis Jones in Liverpool's only change since Monday night on Tyneside - and with Bradley not quite fully fit - Szoboszlai one more occupied the right back berth.

Arsenal had plenty of corners - their key mode of goals but Konate and van Dijk looked much more solid. Even when an injured Konate made way later on for Gomez, the reds number two was a more than ample replacement - providing key well timed challenges to ensure the reds saw out the game.

Arsenal then attempted to up the ante but they had left it too late to throw the kitchen sink at the reds and the exploits of Chiesa and Endo helped see out the game as they took the sting out of the Arsenal threat. The reds have not been on fire, but they have collected three wins and their first clean sheet in 13 games (including friendlies).
