Two-horse race till the end! That’s what we’ve all been waiting for, and that’s precisely what we got after Liverpool topped Arsenal away to come to a single point behind Manchester City in a spectacular title race we’re about to see.Jurgen Klopp’s team triumphed 2-0 against until-tonight peculiar Gunners, who seemed tired and uninspired in front of home fans. It was a torrid night for Mikel Arteta’s boys, as Liverpool made most of their second-half rush to nail two and secure a vital victory. Much of the blame for such an outcome goes on Aaron Ramsdale’s account since the Gunners keeper reacted awfully in both of those situations, conceding in the moments when it was not a nuclear science to save his net.ramsdale makes camera saves to make him look good, in reality he’s shite. pic.twitter.com/YCGLpExn3f— 📌 (@_GS_3) March 16, 2022 So, how it was?The rain was pouring at the Emirates as the teams were struggling to impose domination and pile pressure on the opponents. However, a bit shy hosts and the visitors without thoroughly recovered Salah in the starting XI weren’t capable of developing a fluid game in the first half. Arsenal’s attacking axis Saka-Odegaard-Lacazette-Martinelli was torn, unable to play high up the pitch.Liverpool’s forwards weren’t any better, but the Reds are the set-pieces masters, which they proved on Wednesday night, too. It was Virgil van Dijk who jumped sky-high and fired a sharp header only to be denied by Ramsdale. Believe it or not, that was the only goal-scoring opportunity in the entire half.Win, lose, win, lose, repeat – Spurs hammer Brighton to continue their remarkable run of inconsistencyMartinelli made a bit of fuss in the opposing area as the teams returned from the break, with his backpass lacking the needed accuracy to cause Arteta’s frustration.If only the Spaniard knew what was about to happen, he wouldn’t be so mad on his forward. Thiago Alcantara found a pocket of space between the Gunners’ lines, with Diogo Jota exploiting it perfectly to find himself quickly in the Arsenal’s area. His position, however, was anything but promising which proved to be irrelevant as Ramsdale reacted awfully, not covering the near post and conceding, which came like a bolt from the blue for the hosts.They were still in the state of shock as the visitors struck again. Andy Robertson dashed on to a ball on the left wing – that vulnerable one for the hosts – and found Bobby Firmino in the six-yard box, whose elegant chip made it 2-0 ahead of – once again – stunned Ramsdale.The Scousers had a tie wrapped up within 62 minutes.Martinelli’s decent strike near the end was the only thing the hosts pulled off before the final whistle, as Jurgen Klopp didn’t hide his ecstasy for the crucial win.PREMIER LEAGUERearranged matches WednesdayBrighton – Tottenham 0-2 (0-1)/Romero 37, Kane 57/Arsenal – Liverpool 0-2 (0-0)/Jota 55, Firmino 62/Thursday22:45: (2.50) Everton (3.20) Newcastle (3.15)***odds are subject to change
