Gabriel Martinelli fired us ahead in the opening minute, and it set the tone for a pulsating Premier League encounter.
Liverpool struck back through Darwin Nunez midway through the half, but deep into first-half injury-time Bukayo Saka restored Arsenal lead after a rapid counter-attack.
Liverpool again got back on terms through frequent nemesis Roberto Firmino, but Saka netted from the penalty spot after Gabriel Jesus was fouled to ensure a huge three points, and send us back to the Premier League summit.
Arsenal goalscorer Bukayo Saka said,”The last two years we have struggled against Liverpool. To win today in front of our fans and perform like that gives us so much confidence in how much we are improving. We have so much respect for them, they are a great team, and it means so much to win”
