Former Manchester United star turned pundit Roy Keane has branded Liverpool’s 2-2 draw against Arsenal today as “mad brilliant” as the Gunners escaped the Reds’ second-half onslaught.
Liverpool was poor in the opening minutes and Arsenal raced to a two-goal lead, but the Reds scored just before the break.
This afforded them a chance to regroup at the interval and Jurgen Klopp’s men came out a very different team in the second half.
Arsenal has Aaron Ramsdale to thank for some fine goalkeeping and the wasteful Mohamed Salah, who missed several chances, including a penalty.
Keane watched on as the game unfolded and said afterwards on Sky Sports:
“A mad brilliant game, where we saw the best and worst of Liverpool. They were a mess but then were amazing and should’ve won the game. It was only for the Arsenal goalkeeper they didn’t win it. I really enjoyed it.”
Just Arsenal Opinion
Liverpool was always going to be a tough opponent for us and our boys were probably not surprised by how they came out in the second half.
All things considered, the draw was probably a fair result but it is not hard to feel like this was two points dropped.
Yep, game of the season.
Yes, Arsenal would have beaten Liverpool 1-3 or 2-3 in the match. Had it been the Gunners had played their superlative attacking football/ superlative counter attacking football game throughout the match encounter.
A Gunner in the Arsenal defense, should have played the ball out of defence to a pacey attacking Gunner like Saka or Martinelli. To superlatively counterattack to scorer and scored. When the Gunners wete defending stoutly against Liverpool barrage of attacks to score in the closing minutes match. But thank God! They failed.
