Neil Atkinson's post-match review for The Anfield Wrap after Arsenal 0 Liverpool 2 in the Premier League at the Emirates Stadium…
He is man of the match and man of the hour. He was the second best left back. I like the glint in their eye. He was the second best deep-lying midfielder. But secondly it is a confirmation of the brilliance of Liverpool’s centre backs. But I like the look of our lads. The whole game is firstly a vindication of cutting edge. He strikes it hard and low and surprises Ramsdale. The ball leaves his foot and finds the net in an instant. It was reminiscent of Kenny in London in ’78. The goal and the celebration all as one sweet, sweet move. The flick was one thing, the celebration another. They are the heroes you always needed. They are the heroes you always wanted.

MOHAMED SALAH is into the final 18 months of his Liverpool contract, despite the club's efforts to lock down his future.
He wants to be a Liverpool player in the future, but not in the current financial conditions. Keeping the 29-year-old at the club is an extremely pressing issue in light of his sensational performances. Although Klopp recently claimed that Liverpool had done everything they could to sign Salah up to renewed terms, the player's agent launched a telling response. He thinks he deserves it, and the situation is really serious, I'm not sure whether he will extend his contract." Mo is always delivering and he wants the final top contract of his career.

Roberto Firmino slips his goal under Aaron Ramsdale for Liverpool's decisive second at Arsenal. 02:09. Jürgen Klopp ...
Firmino deftly flicked in the second goal and Liverpool saw out the game with few alarms. It was from just such a pass that Thiago found Jota for the opening goal: a goal that sprang not just from immense technical quality but pure faith, faith in the method, belief in the plan. There were signs early in the second half that Liverpool were on the move. And for much of the game Arsenal were certainly the more kinetic team, all coiled energy and righteous fury. Liverpool were the better side for the next 15 minutes and killed the game comprehensively. The match in summary: Arsenal were the better side for 50 minutes and did nothing with it.
The Reds won 2-0 at Arsenal to trail the Premier League leaders by a point.
“I don’t think it is a problem for a human being every three days to be focused on what you do, but then comes in the physical part. “I know the only chance we have is to win an insane amount of football games because our opponents win an incredible amount of football games. They will eat, sleep well, but thank you so much to the Premier League for putting the fixtures like this. It is not fair what they have done. It is fine but the opponents are all quality and they are really different. “Don’t worry the players on Saturday they will be there, with energy.
Jurgen Klopp was unhappy with the treatment of Sadio Mane in Liverpool's 2-0 win over Arsenal.
Klopp continued: "And then you have Ben White over in the corner, Sadio pressed him and then he kicks the ball out more or less. "Maybe if he has one, it is not a clear foul but it is always like this. I know him better than anyone else and he is not!

Liverpool moved to within a single point of Premier League leaders Manchester City after beating Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium, extending their run to ...
Arsenal got into dangerous areas frequently, but they rarely tested Alisson and that's because the Liverpool goalkeeper was protected by a disciplined and organised defence. Jota is set free on the left by Thiago's delicious pass and he fires the ball past Ramsdale at his near post. However, slowly but surely the Reds closed the gap and now suddenly they're clinging on to the coat tails of the league leaders - and the momentum is well and truly behind them. Few have been as crucial as the race for the title really heats up. The visitors saw out the closing stages comfortably as Klopp claimed his 100th win on the road as their manager. Jurgen Klopp's side fired a warning immediately after the restart, Sadio Mane finishing with aplomb from Jordan Henderson's through ball only to see the offside flag raised.
Martin Odegaard had a great chance to put Arsenal ahead and give them what would have been a deserved lead. Alisson Becker saved, however, and Diogo Jota surged ...
As if to further show the level, Mo Salah came off the bench, and he was involved in the scramble that eventually led to the second. They went toe to toe with Liverpool for much of the game, and perhaps had the better of the first half. It was when their best spell came and also when their best chance came. Mikel Arteta’s side were still determined to push on at the start of the second half, to try and show the level they’re really at. Arsenal did put it to them. We get that bit closer to a generational showdown at the Etihad in mid-April - potentially coming in the middle of a Champions League quarter-final between the two – but also a little closer to a similar rush for fourth. It was still one of those games where it was fast-paced and felt eventful, but little had actually happened. Arsenal again fail to beat one of the elite sides. They have already beaten Spurs this season, but in a different context, with that bit less pressure. Liverpool kept within one point of Manchester City, to keep the title in their own hands. Aaron Ramsdale didn’t show anything like the assurance of the Brazilian. That is obviously the greatest significance of this game.
Diogo Jota has explained his thoughts after being replaced immediately after scoring in Liverpool's 2-0 Premier League win at Arsenal.
We are together as a group, we have one more game before the break and then we have to attack with everything." "When teams are really on it like they (Arsenal) were in the first half, reducing all kinds of space with two or three players around, you need to be patient and wait for the moment when they will give you an extra yard of space. "But it you want to finish a game, nothing better than to score a goal.
Jota and Firmino score in a tightly-contested battle at Emirates Stadium.
Within ten minutes Roberto Firmino had doubled the lead, squeezing his shot home from Andy Robertson's cross after the Scot had dispossessed Saka. Just as we were building the pressure, Liverpool took the lead out of nothing. Copyright 2022 The Arsenal Football Club plc. It ended with Granit Xhaka's pass just eluding Saka in the box. Virgil van Dijk rose highest to meet a corner, but Aaron Ramsdale was alert enough to dive down low to his left and push the ball away for another corner. After a closely fought first-half, the visitors took control when Diogo Joto scored out of nothing, moments after Martin Odegaard had been denied by Alisson from close range.
The Reds were back in north London, this time not to reach a cup final but to turn up the heat in the Premier League title race.
Up the Reds! Plenty of examples since Christmas. Never underestimate the importance of Alisson to this team. Alisson didn't have a lot to do but when he did he was superb (Ramsdale isn't in the same stratosphere as him). Don't think there were many top individual performances but as a team we showed our knowhow and experience. — GaGs (@GagsTandon)March 16, 2022 That, in essence, is this Liverpool. They can navigate daunting spells, give opponents either nothing or the sense they could really get something – and then bang, bang!
Manchester City and Liverpool are bidding to ensure the trophy ribbons carry their club colours this year.
In contrast, City play before Liverpool only once, facing Watford at home a day before the Merseyside derby. City will take confidence from the fact they have lost only one of their last seven Premier League meetings with Klopp’s side, although three of those have finished as draws. On paper, City have slightly the easier of the two run-ins – but only just.
