Liverpool slipped 14 points away from the top of the Premier League as leaders Arsenal inflicted a 3-2 defeat at the Emirates on Sunday.
Despite responding twice to goals at either end of the first half from Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka through Darwin Nunez and Roberto Firmino, a penalty in the second half was enough for Mikel Arteta's side to regain top spot.
Saka dispatched from 12 yards after Gabriel Jesus had been brought down by Thiago Alcantara. But you knew all of that, of course. What you might have missed, however, were a series of intriguing subplot to the afternoon's action in north London.
