Sunday’s Premier Leaguederby match between Arsenal and Liverpool was a nail-biter, ending in a 2-2 tie.Gabriel Martinelli scored the first goal for the Gunners in an exquisite manner as he latched onto Virgil van Dijk’s desperation back throw and poked the ball past Alisson in the opening 10 minutes.

They then chose to seize the opportunity and Martinelli crossed back over Van Dijk as Gabriel Jesus climbed lower and went around Alisson. Liverpool, though, responded with a goal just before halftime.

The second half got off on a dramatic note. After Diogo Jota was pulled down in the penalty area by Rob Holding, Mohamed Salah had a penalty shot, but he blasted it wide off of Aaron Ramsdale’s right post.
