/ In an exciting match at Anfield Stadium, the summit of the eighteenth round of the English Premier League between the leader Arsenal and the runner-up Liverpool ended in a draw (1-1).
Arsenal defender Gabriel scored the first goal for the visiting team with a powerful header in the fourth minute, but Egyptian star Mohamed Salah managed to equalize for Liverpool in the 29th minute with a powerful shot from inside the penalty area.
Thus, Arsenal maintains the lead with 40 points, one point ahead of Liverpool and Aston Villa.
In another match, Tottenham moved up to fourth place temporarily after beating Everton 2-1.
Tottenham owes its victory to Brazilian Richarlison (8) and South Korean Heung-Min Son (18), who scored the two goals, before Portuguese Andre Gomes reduced the score (82).
Tottenham raised its score to 36 points to advance to fourth place, the last place qualifying for the Champions League, benefiting from the absence of Manchester City (34), the title holder, from the weekend matches due to its participation in the Club World Cup, which it won at the expense of Brazilian Fluminense after beating it in the final 4-0.
In another match, West Ham deepened Manchester United’s wounds, inflicting an eighth loss this season, with two clean goals.
West Ham rose to sixth place (30 points), while United dropped to eighth (28).
In other results, Newcastle lost to host Luton with a single goal scored by Andros Townsend (25). Burnley also beat Fulham 2-0.
Dominic Solanke also led his team Bournemouth to a last-gasp 3-2 victory over hosts Nottingham Forest.
Solani scored a hat-trick (51, 58 and 90+5), while Nottingham’s goals were scored by Swede Anthony Elanga (47) and New Zealander Chris Wood (74).
