We were twice pegged back and had to settle for a point from a pulsating clash with Liverpool at Emirates Stadium.

Bukayo Saka – back from injury – lashed home our opener before Virgil van Dijk headed the visitors level. A bullet header from Mikel Merino – his first for the club – put us back in front before the interval.

But Liverpool took advantage of injuries to our back line in the second half to draw level when Mohamed Salah scored on the counter attack.

Our defence – already without the services of the suspended William Saliba – then had to adapt to injuries to Gabriel and Jurrien Timber, but we held on for a point.

After a poignant rendition of the Last Post to mark the forthcoming Remembrance Day, this eagerly anticipated Premier League clash kicked off in a crackling Emirates Stadium atmosphere.

And the decibel levels were boosted inside the opening ten minutes. Ben White, shuffled along to centre back in place of the suspended Saliba, was given time on the ball inside his own half and sprayed a wonderful pass to the scampering Saka on the right wing. He raced into the area, chopped the ball onto his left foot, completely deceiving Andy Robertson, and smashed the ball home inside the near post.

What a way to mark his return to the starting XI after missing our last two games, and it was also our right winger’s 50th Premier League goal. He’s the 11th Arsenal player to reach the landmark in the Premier League, and the seventh youngest for any club.

But the lead was soon wiped out. Virgil van Dijk stole in at a corner, and headed in from close range after it was flicked on at the near post by Luis Diaz.

We looked to bounce back with Saka and Gabriel Martinelli full of running on the wings. Merino threw himself at a whipped in Declan Rice free-kick, but couldn’t keep his attempt on target. Saka then shot over from 20 yards following a driving run.

Martinelli beat Trent Alexander-Arnold inside the area to send in a teasing cross, Kai Havertz though, couldn’t sort his feet out in time at the far post.

Havertz then shot over from a better position, while Martinelli was appealing for a penalty after a clumsy challenge on him in the area. VAR checked it, but were happy with the referee’s original non-decision. Martinelli then shot over as we continued to look dangerous going forward.

A second goal seemed to be on the cards, and Merino duly supplied it right at the end of the half.

Rice had been on the money with his set-piece delivery throughout the opening 45 minutes, and his inviting free kick from the right was powerfully met by our Spanish midfielder, who could celebrate his first Gunners goal after a long VAR review for a possible offside.

Early in the second half Gabriel had to be withdrawn, holding his knee, to be replaced by Jakub Kiwior, and our back four certainly had an unfamiliar look for the final 35 minutes or so.

The change led to a shift in momentum, with Liverpool beginning to look increasingly dangerous.

Diaz burst into the box to be stopped by Raya before Gravenberch blazed over as we came under pressure.

Jurrien Timber was the next of our defenders forced off, he was replaced at left back by Myles Lewis-Skelly.

As we entered the final ten minutes, the pressure told. Darwin Nunez was away down the right, he cut the ball back for Salah in the middle to finish. It was our only defensive slip of the second half.

Our two wingers were replaced for the final ten minutes, having given everything on the pitch, with Ethan Nwaneri and Gabriel Jesus coming on.

As the game entered added time, Jesus bundled the ball home, but the whistle had already gone for an apparent foul by Kiwior in the build up.

So we had to settle for a point, keeping us in third place in the table.

  1. UNSPORTING from havertz as he pushed trent in the last goal. arsenal is the biggest premier league disgrace

  2. Yang paling berkuasa mengatur seluruh dunia & akhirat adalah Pencipta Dunia.
    (semua manusia di seluruh dunia diciptakan oleh Pencipta yang sama. Tapi di dunia ada banyak agama & aliran kepercayaan serta ada juga yang atheis. Siapakah Pencipta manusia & dunia ? Banyak orang mengakui bahwa Pencipta Dunia itu antara lain : Maha Kuasa , Maha Kasih. Maka Pencipta Dunia memberitahu siapa diriNya, pasti dengan cara yang sangat / paling mudah. Supaya manusia bisa dengan sangat mudah juga mengetahui Pencipta manusia).
    Pemilik Dunia = Pemilik Akhirat
    Pengatur Dunia = Pengatur Akhirat

    ( kalau pemilik rumah, paling berkuasa mengatur + buat peraturan untuk orang – orang yang menghuni / mengontrak rumahnya )

  3. Arsenal's second goal was offside, I don''t know why VAR could not see that Arsenal players did actually put themselves on side after they stand offside before the ball was kicked, they tried to get back on side but they didn't completely put themselves on side at all, they were always behind the line setup by Liverpool's players. That goal was offside period! It shouldn't have been allowed to stand.

  4. Watch the second goal by Arsenal, play the Video slowly by reducing the speed of the video, you will see that Arsenal players were offside even though they tried to get back on side, but they didn't they were always behind the line formed by Liverpool players. VAR shouldn't allowed that goal. It was a complete Offside goal.

  5. Dear friends, as believers in one Creator, we find purpose in worshiping ALLAH alone. The Quran (51:56) says that humans and jinns were created solely to worship Him. We see the Quran as the final divine scripture, guiding humanity to truth and righteousness. In Islam, we hold that all prophets — Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad, peace be upon them all — were sent by ALLAH to guide people towards monotheism. Muhammad (PBUH) is regarded as the last messenger, with the Quran as the ultimate revelation for humanity.

    The path to true success in the hereafter, we believe, is through sincere worship of Allah, the one true God. May we all seek and understand each other's faiths with open hearts, aiming for peace, guidance, and unity.

    Please read Quran and your book for two hours. You will find the truth. You will find all the answers in Quran.

  6. LFC defenders and midfielders were too conservative with passes, except for Salah's goal just one semi-good chance to score and 1 shot on goal (for MacAllister) and it would be a miracle if he did score that (xG=0.08). In the second half LFC controlled the ball 63% but didnt create any chances from open play except for Salah's goal. Cant win titles if you cant switch on the full out attack, especially when the opponent is vulnerable like Arsenal were, and break down the opponent.

  7. listen to the commentator celebrate Arsenals goals vs the dull grinding of teeth when liverpool score its a joke LOL

  8. Liverpool fans for the past one year:

    1. Konate karate kicking Martinelli in the box without the ball – not a penalty
    2. Van Dijk karate kicking Havertz twice off the ball – no VAR review of violent conduct
    3. Diaz kicking the ball away when whistle was blown, no card.

  9. Ketua DPR AS Mike Johnson (R-La.) berbicara di KTT International Religious Freedom (IRF) pada 31 Januari 2024. Dia mengecam Partai Komunis Tiongkok (PKT) karena mengambil organ secara paksa untuk transplantasi dari praktisi Falun Gong yang masih hidup. Falun Gong adalah latihan spiritual dan meditasi yang prinsip panduannya adalah Sejati, Baik, Sabar. PKT melancarkan penganiayaan terhadap Falun Gong pada bulan Juli 1999, dan berlanjut hingga hari ini.

    Ketua DPR AS Mike Johnson (R-La.) berbicara di International Religious Freedom pada 31 Januari 2024.

    Selama KTT di Washington D.C., Johnson mengatakan bahwa dia mengabdikan sebagian besar masa dewasanya dan kariernya untuk membela kebebasan beragama. Dia berkata, “Merupakan suatu kehormatan untuk bergabung dengan anda semua saat kita berbicara menentang penganiayaan agama di seluruh dunia.”

    Ketika dia berbicara tentang penganiayaan kebebasan beragama yang dilakukan oleh PKT, dia berkata, “Umat Buddha Tibet dan praktisi Falun Gong ditempatkan di kamp kerja paksa, dan organ mereka diambil secara paksa oleh Partai Komunis Tiongkok.”

    Dia menegaskan, “Di Daerah Otonomi Uighur, Muslim Uighur menderita di bawah kampanye genosida Partai Komunis Tiongkok berupa sterilisasi paksa, penahanan paksa, dan pendidikan ulang.”

    Dia menyebutkan bahwa Tiongkok adalah salah satu negara yang paling represif di dunia, dan negara-negara tersebut, “memiliki paling sedikit hal yang bisa ditawarkan kepada warganya dalam hal kemakmuran ekonomi dan mobilitas sosial, dan itu tidak mengherankan karena jika anda akan membatasi dan menyiksa orang-orang karena keyakinan agama mereka, ini akan menjadi rezim tirani.”

    Dia menegaskan, “AS mempunyai kewajiban untuk mencegah genosida, dan menghukum mereka yang melakukannya.”

    “Kita tahu bahwa kebebasan beragama atau berkeyakinan adalah nilai universal. Itu diberikan kepada orang-orang di mana pun, kepada kita oleh Pencipta kita.”

    Dia melanjutkan, “Kita berkumpul di KTT ini di bawah satu bendera, mengatakan bahwa kebebasan beragama benar-benar untuk semua orang, dan kita mendeklarasikan fakta kebenaran universal bahwa hak-hak kita tidak dapat dicabut, khususnya hak atas kebebasan beragama, berasal dari Tuhan, dan bukan pemerintah.”

    Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat AS meloloskan Stop Forced Organ Harvesting Act (Undang-Undang Hentikan Pengambilan Organ Secara Paksa) tahun 2023 pada 23 Maret 2023, yang mengkriminalisasi pengambilan organ secara paksa, dengan suara 413–2. Ini adalah pertama kalinya Amerika Serikat secara langsung menangani kekejaman PKT dalam pengambilan organ dari tahanan hati nurani yang masih hidup melalui undang-undang, dan rancangan undang-undang tersebut disahkan dengan suara mayoritas.

    Sanksi yang tertuang dalam RUU tersebut antara lain hukuman perdata paling banyak US$250.000 dan hukuman pidana paling banyak US$1 juta serta penjara 20 tahun.

    Anggota Dewan Chris Smith (R-N.J.), sponsor utama rancangan undang-undang tersebut, berbicara menentang pengambilan organ secara paksa, “Ini adalah kekejaman, ini adalah kejahatan terhadap kemanusiaan, dan ini adalah kejahatan perang, karena ini adalah perang melawan orang-orang yang tidak bersalah di Tiongkok, dan [pemimpin Tiongkok] Xi Jinping bertanggung jawab langsung. Mereka yang bersedia terlibat dalam hal ini akan bertanggung jawab.”

    Smith mengatakan dalam sebuah pernyataan pada bulan April 2022 yang menentang penganiayaan terhadap Falun Gong, “Saat ini, praktisi Falun Gong terus ditangkap, dipenjara, disiksa, dan mengalami pembunuhan yang paling kejam—termasuk pembedahan saat masih hidup untuk mengambil organ mereka secara paksa dan dijual di pasar medis hanya karena mereka percaya pada hak asasi manusia dan kebebasan mendasar dalam beragama, berbicara, dan berkumpul.”

    Smith mendesak Kongres AS untuk meloloskan rancangan undang-undang yang ia sponsori untuk memerangi pengambilan organ paksa dan perdagangan manusia. Dia mengatakan RUU tersebut juga bertujuan untuk memberikan sanksi kepada negara-negara yang mengambil bagian atau merencanakan tindakan tidak manusiawi dan biadab tersebut.
