Arsenal came through their biggest test of the season so far with a 3-2 win over Liverpool. Mikel Arteta had been told that his side were yet to face a real test but when it came, they were ready.
Arsenal were dominant in the second half in particular after responding to the inevitable period in the first half that Liverpool possessed. The surprise selection in defence from Arteta of selecting Takehiro Tomiyasu at left-back proved a stroke of magic as the front four of Diogo Jota, Mohamed Salah, Darwin Nunez and Luis Diaz were managed effectively, despite some joy in front of goal.
What this win will mean in the context of Arsenal’s season won’t be realised until much later down the line. Until then, football.london has taken a look at the winners and losers from arguably their most important victory of the season.
