It gave Arsenal the platform to go on and record a real statement victory, as they saw off Jurgen Klopp's side 3-2. The Gunners were pegged back twice in the game, but Bukayo Saka scored a brace to send Arsenal back to the top of the Premier League.

Saka also played a key role in Arsenal's opening goal, driving forwards with the ball after receiving a pass from Ben White. However, there is some debate as to whether the goal should have counted due to Saka's involvement in the opener.
