FULL-TIME: ARSENAL 3-2 LIVERPOOL
What a fantastic match here at the Emirates Stadium as Arsenal make a statement of intent to go back to the top of the table with a big win! Report to follow...
ONE MINUTE TO GO!
The whistles have already started from the crowd as they urge Michael Oliver to blow his whistle.

Another Arsenal change to run down the clock. Vieira replaces Saka.

B. Saka
LATE CORNER
Arsenal have a late corner, which they try and keep in the corner, but Liverpool quickly win it back and look to break. However, the move is stopped in its tracks.

FIVE ADDED MINUTES
There will be five added minutes. Meanwhile, Jesus takes another whack after getting right in the middle of both van Dijk and Alisson in the penalty area. After a brief stoppage, he is replaced by Nketiah for the remainder of added time.

NO PENALTY!
Tierney bundles down Elliott in the box, but it does look soft, and there is nothing in it. The referee doesn't show any interest.
GOOD DEFENDING
White, now at right-wing-back, gets past Tsimikas with ease as he floats in a cross towards the box. Gomez does just about enough to stop any Arsenal shirts from reaching it.

Arsenal make another change as Odegaard is replaced by Tierney.

GOALLLLL! SAKA RESTORES ARSENAL'S LEAD
What a penalty! Saka coolly places the penalty right into the bottom-left corner past Alisson.
Penalty
B. Saka
XHAKA AND HENDERSON SQUARE UP
Both are given a talking to by the referee but escape bookings.
ARSENAL HAVE A PENALTY!
Liverpool once again scramble to hack the ball clear, and in the middle of it, Thiago clips the heel of Jesus inside the penalty area, and Michael Oliver points to the spot!
LIVERPOOL SURVIVE!
Martinelli works the ball well down the left-side, but he is eventually crowded out when he tries to cut inside. He lays the ball back to the left for an overlapping Xhaka, and he does brilliantly to deliver a teasing low cross for Saka at the back post, but the ball bounces off van Dijk into the path of Alisson!
Liverpool
Gomez is booked for timewasting at a throw-in.

CHANCE!
Tomiyasu's cross from the left evades everyone, catching everyone by surprise, including Saka at the far post. He loops the ball up for Odegaard to try and head it in, but he is denied by a last-minute clearance off the line. Eventually, Saka is penalised for handball.
