A spirited Arsenal were beaten 2-0 by Liverpool on Wednesday night but there were still plenty of positives for Mikel Arteta to take from the Emirates, not least the performances of Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka.
There was nothing to separate the two teams at half-time with Arsenal not intimidated by their title-chasing opponents. Both wingers found space on multiple occasions and gave Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson plenty to think about.
But the best teams find a way to score and that is exactly what Liverpool did in the second half. First, Diogo Jota squeezed a shot past Aaron Ramsdale at his near post before Roberto Firmino came off the bench to make it two moments later to secure the three points.
