Liverpool’s 2-0 win at Arsenal on Wednesday in a late Premier League fixture has taken them to within a point of leaders Manchester City in the table.
The Reds’ superiority was evident as they took the lead after Mané was denied an early goal in the second half, with goals from Jota (55th) and Firmino (62nd), who had just come on. It was a real coup for Jürgen Klopp’s side, who defeated one of the English league’s form teams and put more pressure than ever on their Manchester rivals. For the Gunners, this result, although disappointing, is not dramatic as Mikel Arteta’s players remain in 4th place with two games to make up.
