London: Arsenal rose to the second position in the Premier League by jumping first, then stuttering and returning to winning ways. The Gunners were strengthened by the victory in the crucial match against Liverpool yesterday. The former champions also reduced the difference with Liverpool, who are first in the points table (51), to two points. Despite a lackluster start to the season, defending champions Manchester City have made a comeback and are back in the title race.
City, who have played two games less than Liverpool and Arsenal, currently have 46 points. If they can win the next two matches, Pep Guardiola’s team can move to the top spot. Aston Villa with 46 points and Tottenham with 44 points are fourth and fifth. Even sixth-placed Manchester United (38) can make a run for the championship if they play consistently in the next few matches.
Defeating the Reds at home in a thrilling match boosts the Gunners’ confidence. Bukayo took the lead in the 14th minute through Saka. Gabriele Martinelli in the 67th minute and substitute Leandro Trossade in the 90+2 minutes fired for Lever. Gabriel’s own goal (45+3) gave Liverpool a consolation goal. Arsenal, who have been in good form since the beginning of the game, have put out a performance to neutralize Liverpool at the Emirates Stadium. In the 88th minute, defender Konata was sent off after receiving a red card and Virgil Vandeke’s mistakes dealt a blow to the visitors. Yesterday’s match that Brazilian goalkeeper Alisen Bakker also wants to forget.
