Arsenal prove they can challenge for title with gutsy Liverpool win - 7 talking points

Arsenal showed their mettle to return the top of the Premier League table after a thrilling 3-2 victory over a ramshackle Liverpool.

The gutsy Gunners made a rip-roaring start when Gabriel Martinelli scored the opening goal of the game inside the first minute, lifting an already lively Emirates. But Darwin Nunez blasted Liverpool back level before the break, scoring his first goal in more than two months after dispatching Luis Diaz's pinpoint cross.

His goal looked to have sent the teams into half-time on level terms, until Bukayo Saka tucked home after a marvellous added-time Arsenal counter attack. It was all square seven minutes after the restart, though, as Roberto Firmino extended his impressive record against the Gunners. But Saka would get the last laugh, slotting home an ice-cool penalty to send his side to the summit of the table.
