Just minutes after Lacazette’s goal, Salah fired a shot at Leno which rebounded only to be netted in by Sadio Mane.  Just as the first half was nearing to an end Trent Alexander Arnold fired in a cross which was chested and converted into a goal by the unmarked Andy Robertson.

Second Half

Arsenal looked dangerous after the break as they nearly equalized in the 63rd minute. Lacazette was onside and was on his way to convert the excellent pass from Ceballos into a goal. But at last Lacazette hit it straight to Allison which made the Brazilian’s job easy.

Liverpool’s new signing Diogo Jota from Wolverhampton Wanderers made his debut from the bench in the second half. He missed few easy chances before netting in a goal on his debut in the 88th minute. Arsenal who were victorious in their first two games faced defeat in the hands of Liverpool.
