Both the first half win and second half win belong to Arsenal, so the gamblers that gambled the match in support of Arsenal are in money now because the Odd that they would give to Arsenal winning in both either half would be so much because what people would predict most is Arsenal loosing to Liverpool but Arsenal played with determination and they won, it's not because they played more than Liverpool because Liverpool had the ball possession than Arsenal, it was the first half that Arsenal played better than second half but the winning Spirit in the second half help Arsenal won the match, it's not because they played more than Liverpool.
There was even a time that Arsenal tried to play with the midfielders and that is where things really gets bad for Arsenal and Liverpool equalised the second goal and before things gets worst for them, they had to change to the wing side they played with in the first half and gave them first half winning and as Liverpool seems tough at the defense line, when they were so much pressured, they committed penalty which Bukayo Saka scored and gave Arsenal wining that add three more points to Arsenal's point and move them back to the first they are in the premier league table before Manchester City win on Saturday. Even Manchester City would see Arsenal as threat now.
Days before the match, Jorggen klopp was interviewed, in his words, he praises Gabriel Matineli and Bukayo Saka, saying the club is full of young players and of course the young players are the ones that ruined Liverpool, so Klopp praised right because the kids really did wonder in that match. They both scored the goals, Gabriel Matineli scored the first goal and did assist for the second goal and then Bukayo Saka scored the the penalty worked out by Gabriel Jesus and Arteta has no reason to attack again since his boys are already leading, so he had to add more strength to the back by taking out Martin Odegaard and introducing Keran Tierny.
There was a minute that Liverpool wanted to start playing robust football in the midfield and that won't work well for Arsenal because Liverpool is stronger than Arsenal in everything and that was the only time that Liverpool played very well because they played robust football and as Arsenal know that it can't work for them, they started Launching ball and played physical ball like Liverpool themselves, so technically, Arsenal played the same style with Liverpool but it seems Arsenal wingers are the one that are too hard for Liverpool wing backs to hold down and the midfielders Liverpool believe in aren't too hard for Granit Xhaka and Thomas Partey to handle.

One great one, courtesy @happyboy1:
"The midfield is one of the problems, going for Arthur Melo wasn’t a smart idea, even if he wasn't injured, he won't add much to the team.
If klopp continues with attacking through the wings alone, teams will continue to nullify their attack. Arnold is left exposed when the player in front of him (Salah) isn't playing well.
Reinforcing the midfield reduces the workload off the wingers and creativity can come from both the midfield and the wings rather than just the flanks alone. And the defense is less exposed than it is currently."
Thanks for the reference 👍
you are right if Salah support Anold like the Arsenal wingers supports their wing backs, Anold may not be exposed. Maybe that is what they need to work on by January but as Klopp and Liverpool as a whole so much believe in Salah and that is why they let Sadio Mane go and add to Salah's salary with more years. Maybe Geo Gomez should keep playing that wing back as he isn't exposed like Anold is.
Arsenal is having so much good time in their winning, this winning is just like running an escape a tiger, what Arsenal can do are so numerous, true young people can play so well.
Manchester city need to see them as threat.
But Arsenal will surely see Manchester City as threat because Manchester City is the only big club that Arsenal is ahead with only one point and the club that scores so much goals and concede less
Arsenal is playing a very good football, Odegaard is amazing, the first asisst of the first goal was perfect. Liverpool's moment is also disappointing, the full-backs are at a very poor level and the team is feeling it.
Liverpool is only good at midfield, so the club that would beat them don't have to compete with them at the midfield.
Overall,Arsenal were the better team in all aspect, the scoreline flatters Liverpool. It could have been worse.
Yes it could have been worse but it came as surprise to Liverpool the way Arsenal plays
Nice analysis.
Super day for the Gunners. Who's next? They fear no foe.
They must fear Manchester City as they never play them
That's you talking,not Arsenal please.
You can't hear Arsenal saying it, OK a fan too but we all know that Manchester City isn't easy to meet and not loose
A victory of gold and its gains far exceed the three points.. Maintaining the lead, winning over a potential competitor, beautiful, smooth, easy performance, and advancing the result 3 times in the match with a great personality and the brilliance of all the team’s elements without any exception…
Liverpool is confused and does not know what it wants..No offensively capable of forming danger and defensively, there are streets behind all its members..
Yes that's just what happend, but I don't think Liverpool is confused because they played to win. They keep equalizing as Arsenal scores, it's just that Arsenal has determined to win the match whatever the case may be
