Liverpool cut Manchester City's lead at the top of the Premier League table to just one point by beating Arsenal 2-0 on Wednesday.
Diogo Jota and Roberto Firmino scored in quick succession midway through the second half to give Jurgen Klopp's side a priceless three points in the title race. Mikel Arteta's men started the brightest but were brought hurling back down to Earth when Jota beat Aaron Ramsdale at his near post in the 54th minute.
It wasn't long until that lead was doubled, as substitute Firmino capped off an assured second-half performance, with the Reds having needed to hold on in the first 45. Klopp had benched star man Mohamed Salah for the crucial clash, notably one of Arsenal's games in hand on Manchester United in the race to finish fourth.
