Arsenal, the visiting team, took the lead early in the game. Arsenal scored the first goal in the first four minutes. They got a free kick from the left near the penalty box, and degaard connected the kick to the center. Magalyangis, who participated in the attack, did not miss it and scored by connecting it to the header.
Liverpool was dragged through the game by conceding the first goal, but it got back on the flow. Eventually, the equalizer was scored in the 29th minute of the first half. Arnold connected a long pass to Salah from the back. Salah perfectly peeled off Zinchenko and shook the net with a powerful left-footed shot.
In the second half, the two teams also had fierce competition. Liverpool was disappointed when Arnold hit the post at the 27th minute of the second half. Eventually, the match ended with 1-1 and Liverpool ended up in second place with only one point. Arsenal remained atop with 40 points.
A bad news has been reported for Liverpool. Starting the game, Tsimikas competed with Saka in the 35th minute. After being pushed over by Saka, Tsimikas collided with Jürgen Klopp, who was standing at the touchline. Klopp also collided with the coach even before collapsing. Tsimikas felt pain in his collarbone and was replaced in pain.
After the match, Klopp reported Tsimikas' condition. "It's at least a fractured collarbone. That's a bad taste. At first, I didn't think it was a big injury because I didn't have any pain. When I asked Tsimas, he said, "It's broken. It should not happen." 토토
Saka also apologized to Tsimikas for the collision. According to the British newspaper The Sun, Saka said, "I want to apologize to Tsimikas. I didn't mean it. It was a 50 vs. 50 competition. I didn't see him, but he clearly fell. I didn't even see his collision with Klopp."
Chimikas started after Andrew Robertson, his main sideback, was injured and played like Altoran. However, as Chimikas was injured on Boxing Day, Liverpool's concerns grew bigger.
