Wenger is forced to make a change as Monreal has a knock and Mustafi finally comes back but the game continues at full pace and after 6 minutes Maitland-Niles gives the ball away in the Liverpool corner and Salah gets it back uickly and finally gets a goal with a deflection off Mustafi. It looks like its all over but suddenly Sanchez is in the Pool penalty box and gets a header which goes through Mignolet’s legs. Game back on!
Wow! Just 3 minutes later Xhaka takes a pot shop from well outside the box which is spinning, and suddenly the Gunners are level. This game is amazing! Liverpools defence has been suspect all season and this has proved it…
Iwobi gets a booking for dragging Mane back and then we get another break and Lacazette backheels to Ozil and he chips it beautifully over the keeper and Arsenal have 3 goals in 10 minutes.
Arsenal need to tighten up at the back but it looks like there could be another 5 goals. Xhaka got lucky not to be booked and the game is looking like a ping pong match right now. 2-0 down to 3-2 up and can anyone keep up?
Another break from the Gunners and Ozil finds Lacazette but his very tough shot actually gets close. But Sane breaks at the other end and it is like a schoolboy match with 11 players chasing the ball from one end to the other. Arsenal need some discipline with 20 minutes to go, but is attack the first form of defence? For these two teams Yes!
And it is Liverpool’s turn to score. Firminho smacks the ball and although Cech gets his hands on it but he can’t stop it bouncing over in to the net. Jeez, This game is incredible! Please blow the whistle ref!
Liverpool now looking for the winner, but Arsenal still trying to break and that ball is flying from goal to goal. 15 minutes to go and both teams are tiring but anyone can win it. Alexis and Ozil combine to give Bellerin a shot but its tipped over by Mignolet.
Wenger is going for it and brings on Welbeck for Iwobi. Lacazette looks knackered and can’t keep the ball and now we need fresh legs to make an impact. Shame Giroud got injured or he would be coming on…..
Everyone is trying hard but there are more fouls coming in with tiredness but suddenly Salah is on his own in the box with four Arsenal players around but gets a shot against the side netting. With one minute to go Walcott comes on for Sanchez. He is trying to get past down the wing but no end yet as the ref gives a 4 minute extra time notice. Can Arsenal get the winner?
An incredible cross from Ozil nearly curves into the net but Mignolet gets to it. Arsenal are definitely on the front foot, but Liverpool carry on fighting but we are equal to it but both sides hold on…
An incredible match finally ends 3-3 and that is probably a fair result, especially as Arsenal were 2-0 down. Great entertainment!
