A Historic Game in Premier League

It's a great result from Liverpool's point of view, without doing anything. ...league game of the season here at Anfield. In the previous nine, Liverpool could equally be four points. Well, everything's changed, hasn't it? Just in... ...Liverpool versus Arsenal, and your Saturday evening starts with the Premier League. And we're just looking down there, Steve, at kick-off. It does look like Liverpool were held by Arsenal. On the same weekend, Manchester City scored six against Southampton. ...Van Dijk. There's the busy Rob Lichsteiner. There's Aaron Ramsey. An interesting run there into the other way from Lucas Torreira. ...onto it quickly! Little flip by Salah, couldn't quite squeeze in. ...a team that is in such good form and in such a commanding position in the Premier League table. A little coming together there, Mane, Lichsteiner. There's Alex Iwobi. Alexander-Arnold has got a cross there to help Lovren, but it took Alisson to steer it behind. Yeah, it's sloppy there from Liverpool's end. There's Iwobi. A promising position, this for Arsenal. Coming in there at the far post to tap it in. He's Ainslie Maitland-Niles, and Arsenal lead at Anfield. The Premier League... ...opens up for Salah. Firmino coming in, and somehow it's able to find its way through to the Brazilian, who can level in quick time for Liverpool. Liverpool 1-1. Breaks to Roberto Firmino, who's waiting for Mane, might not meet him. Oh, that's brilliant! Heads Liverpool 2-1. What a great start to a great game. ...who wants to get Aubameyang on the run, and Alisson. Shaqiri with an excellent ball through towards Wijnaldum. It was the back three that they were using when they were on that run. Here's Maitland-Niles. Before that, the German international. But he's more of a playmaker, isn't he, in the Liverpool side? Robertson looking to get Salah in behind, and they have got Mane! Three at the outset, and Sadio Mane couldn't miss. It's only the second time he's scored in 12 Liverpool games. Potentially more problems at the back here for Arsenal. It was a little bit late there, Shaqiri. Robertson, a yellow card for the Arsenal midfielder. Alisson able to touch Mane to Maitland-Niles. A smart turn, and a shot. It was nice, it was nice again. Just couldn't execute. Maitland-Niles. Ramsey. Yeah, that was Liverpool. Salah on the side. Down he goes, penalty. Sokratis was nibbling and nibbling and nibbling. Here comes Salah, and scores! Liverpool get a fourth, it's been a blistering attacking first half. Against Liverpool, he was part of that Arsenal team that... Sadio Mane. Gets it back again from Shaqiri! Shaqiri. Salah! Leno timed it just right. Lovely ball by Shaqiri, outside the left wing. Ramsey, Kolasinac. Couldn't chase them. So you wonder whether he just dived in the air, Kolasinac. Yeah, he did. Xhaka. Here's Aaron Ramsey. Well, the flag would have been up if... Shaqiri, Roberto Firmino hits it. Leno. Lovely touch by Salah. Fabinho! Good save by Leno. Great save by Leno. Shaqiri to Alexander-Arnold. Whipped in by Henderson. Penalty. Michael Oliver was watching it. Lovren was shoved over. It's Firmino. He scores. It's five for Liverpool. It's three for Roberto Firmino. And Liverpool... Looks like he's going to be the next man on, doesn't he? Alexander Lacazette, but even a striker. Here's Alex Iwobi, who's got options up here with him. Ramsey was one, and Alisson, under pressure from Maitland-Niles, able to hang on. ...of not winning the league. He was top on New Year's Day, the first time he won the Bundesliga, and second the following season. You can try that. Let's have a look at it, Steve. Into the box. Physically, Steve, so Roberto Firmino, the man of the match. Here's Lacazette, and now Iwobi. Stefan Lichtsteiner. Bang in line. Alexander-Arnold. Henderson screaming for it. Henderson gets it! And couldn't find the corner. That was a better shape than his volley here. Yeah, that's Anfield today. It's just changed the mood of those Arsenal fans. Yeah, I mean... And there might be another... Might be a finisher. It's Mo Salah. Oh, and he went for it himself. He got Clyne and Firmino. Yeah. Charging in there to support him. He just changed... Handshake between the managers. Jurgen Klopp and Uno. You know, his second goal in particular was an excellent one. Sadio Mane weighed in with the goal.
