Arsenal Sure Of Beautiful Christmas Dinner, Arteta Gives Reason

Arsenal players and fans are assured of a beautiful Christmas dinner after the club played out an entertaining 1-1 draw with Liverpool at Anfield on Saturday, club coach, Mikel Arteta has said.

The goals were courtesy of Gabriel and Mohamed Salah.

The Gunners made a very fast start at Anfield and Gabriel Magalhaes headed home Martin Odegaard’s free-kick after just four minutes to silence Anfield. Jurgen Klopp’s side grew into the game and Mohamed Salah equalised midway through the first half after Trent Alexander-Arnold found him with a stunning pass, with the Egypt forward beating the vulnerable Oleksandr Zinchenko on his way to goal.

Both teams had their fair share of chances in the thrilling encounter that followed, the best falling to Alexander-Arnold who smashed the bar from close range as Liverpool spurned a five-versus-two counter-attack. The result means Arsenal have a one-point gap over Liverpool and Aston Villa with the league one game away from the halfway point, with Tottenham and Manchester City, who have a game in hand, four and six points further back from the Gunners. It was a tale of two stories as the result ensured Arsenal remained top at Christmas while Liverpool missed the opportunity to cement their spot at the summit of the League.

Mikel Arteta who described the game as one of the most intense and hectic games of the season had this to say; “It allows us to have a beautiful Christmas dinner with our families and come back to work the next day because we have to prepare against West Ham really well. It was one of the most intense, hectic games I have witnessed in 20 years in this league. And that says a lot.”
