Arsenal’s joy only lasted three minutes, when the defense gave gifts to the opponent.
Firmino recreated the goal without looking at the ball.
90 seconds later, Lucas Torreira lost the ball to Firmino right in front of the 16m50 area.
After taking the lead, Liverpool still dominated the field, and the away team’s defense was in disarray.
Mane put the ball into the net from Salah’s clearance.
Salah did not have to wait long to put his name on the scoreboard.
At the beginning of the second half, Coach Unai Emery put Laurent Koscielny on the field to replace Mustafi. But the arrangement of the match helped Liverpool play comfortably, constantly staggering the away team’s defense.
Liverpool had another chance to score a sixth goal in the final minutes of the match.
