3 takeaways from Arsenal’s 2-2 draw against Liverpool
3. Ramsdale may have saved the title
Although Ramsdale didn’t save the penalty – Salah struck it wide of the post – he certainly saved Arsenal’s pursuit of the title.
The Gunners goalkeeper may have had the best game of his career. Ramsdale has pulled off a whole host of remarkable saves since joining the club, but none were more important than the two he produced in the dying embers of Sunday’s game.
Although Arsenal fans wanted a victory and were close to realising their wish, Liverpool controlled the game for most of the second half. Salah almost scored a left-footed curler that was deflected and somehow pushed wide by an outstretched Ramsalde. Shortly after, Ibrahima Konate’s close-range attempt was shovelled off the goal line by Arsenal’s number one which not only preserved a point, but almost resulted in an Arsenal winner at the other end.
The Englishman had an outstanding game that will be remembered for years to come if the Gunners win the title.
This 2-2 draw between Liverpool and Arsenal will be remembered as a classic. The game had everything a scouser, a Gooner, and a neutral could ask for. There were goals, crunching tackles, yellow cards, a penalty, and title-defining performances. Liverpool played like proven champions, and Arsenal played like future champions. The race between the Gunners and the Citizens is slightly closer but destiny still remains in Arsenal’s grasp.
