Most intense game for 20 years, says Arteta after Arsenal draw at Anfield

In the roller-coaster game at Anfield, Arsenal took an early lead thanks to Gabriel’s goal. Mohamed Salah later equalized for Liverpool just before halftime.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta described the game as one of the most intense he had seen in the Premier League in 20 years while praising his team’s bravery and faith.

Jürgen Klopp, manager of Liverpool, also praised Arsenal and stated that Liverpool tried to cause them problems by attacking directly.

Arsenal will spend Christmas Day at the top of the Premier League table, with Liverpool and Aston Villa close behind.

Both teams had chances to win, but the 1-1 tie was deemed fair. Arsenal still needs to improve at “killing games,” according to Arteta, in order to stay ahead in the title race.

During the game, Liverpool defender Kostas Tsimikas suffered a suspected broken collarbone and set to be sidelined for quite some time.
