Arsenal returned to the top of the Premier League on Sunday with a statement win over Liverpool at the Emirates Stadium. An early opening goal from Gabriel Martinelli and two goals from Bukayo Saka was enough to secure a 3-2 win for the Gunners who secured their eighth victory in nine games.
Martinelli opened the scoring in just 58 seconds. Liverpool levelled proceedings through Darwin Nunez after 34 minutes but Saka restored the Arsenal lead on the stroke of half-time.
Liverpool levelled again on 53 minutes, though, as Roberto Firmino scored his 10th goal against the Gunners in just 17 appearances. Arsenal were awarded a penalty 15 minutes from time thanks to a challenge from Thiago Alcantara on Gabriel Jesus. Saka made no mistake from 12 yards as he slotted his attempt past Alisson Becker.
