Arsenal were left ruing their chances as they fell to a 4-3 defeat by Liverpool at the Emirates Stadium.
Arsenal started the match with a makeshift defence but did not look shaken as Theo Walcott scored on 30th minute after missing a penalty kick some few moments before. An inexperienced Rob Holding gave a foul away from about 30 yards which gave the Reds the opportunity to shoot at goal and Coutinho converted a glorious free-kick at the stroke of halftime.
Liverpool started the second half with a bang, Adam Lallana finished off a brilliant move with a fantastic strike after the dangerous Reds attackers swarm the Arsenal defence. Free-kick hero, Phillipe Coutinho netted a perfect side-foot volley past Cech to give the visitors their third. Arsenal injury woes increased as Alex Iwobi limped out of the pitch in the 58th minute; Ramsey also got replaced by Santi Cazorla due to injury.
Sadio Mane compounded the Gunners’ troubles as he dribbled past a couple of defenders to strike the ball into the net for Liverpool’ fourth goal. Alex- Oxlade Chamberlain took same inspiration as he skins past three Reds defenders to give his side a second goal. Chambers gave the Gunners a lifeline in the 85th minute as he powered in Cazorla’s free-kick to finish a seven-goal thrilling match.
Arsene Wenger was left devastated at the terrible result right in front of their home fans; this may then cause a panic-buy in the transfer market in a bid to salvage an impending danger for the Gunners going into the Premier League season.
