After Arsenal had succumbed to defeat against Liverpool, the typical tag line regarding the gap between the two sides was again used. Yes, there is a gap between both Arsenal and Liverpool, this is not a new revelation.
However, for Arsenal, what perhaps is unfairly not being talked about enough about is the size of the gap between the two sides. Arsenal and Liverpool hold the record for the greatest number of goals scored in games between the two clubs.
This is a record that has gone in the Reds’ favour significantly in the previous few years since the rise under Jurgen Klopp. However, there is change at the Gunners which was shown last night as Mikel Arteta’s side again were a competitive match for their title-challenging opponents.
