Arsenal throw away title advantage as Liverpool produce remarkable comeback - 7 talking points

Roberto Firmino scored a late equaliser as Liverpool came from two goals behind to hold Arsenal to a potentially damaging draw in their pursuit of the Premier League title.

The Gunners had not won at Liverpool's home ground in the Premier League since 2012 and Firmino's 87th-minute header from Trent Alexander-Arnold's cross header broke their hearts. Mikel Arteta's side looked to be on course for an eighth-straight win to restore their eight-point lead at the top after Manchester City cut the gap by beating Southampton 4-1, but it wasn't to be.

Arsenal came out of the blocks with real pace and deservedly took the lead early on when Virgil van Dijk inadvertently sent Martin Odegaard's pass into the path of Gabriel Martinelli, who poked past Alisson. Andy Robertson smashed a good chance wide before Gabriel Jesus made it 2-0, getting in between Robertson and Van Dijk to nod Martinelli's cross in.
