Martinelli's pre-match joke as Odegaard shouts at Saka: Arsenal moments missed vs Liverpool

Arsenal went back to the top of the Premier League with a 3-2 win over Liverpool. The Gunners got off to a perfect start as they took the lead inside a minute following a superb counter-attack that ended with Gabriel Martinelli turning home.

They began to fall deep after that though and struggled to get out under the pressure of the visitors. Liverpool's pressure eventually told as Darwin Nunez turned home Mo Salah's cross despite a question of offside in the build up. However, right on the stroke of half time Arsenal hit back again with a stunning counter-attack goal where Martinelli this time turned provider for Bukayo Saka.

Liverpool got back level, though, when substitute Roberto Firmino got in behind the Arsenal backline to slot home a fine low finish beyond Aaron Ramsdale despite a good start to the second half. A rollercoaster game then took another twist as Arsenal were awarded a penalty for a foul on Gabriel Jesus that Bukayo Saka slotted home coolly. That would prove to be enough as the Gunners survived a nervy finish to claim yet another win and go back to the top of the Premier League. Here football.london takes a look at some of the moments you may have missed from the game.
