When you score many goals in a match, it is very positive. However, if he also conceded that goal, everything would be considered a trophy. Therefore, despite having a beautiful attacking style of play, both Arsenal and Liverpool have to say goodbye to the Premier League silver Cup when the new season has gone through half of its journey.
In the opening goal, Koscielny's broken save sent the ball to the right position that Coutinho was running into. The Brazilian midfielder had his first goal in the Premier League. The big mistake belongs to Xhaka and Wilshere when they could not keep up but this is not a defensive duo.
In the second goal, Arsenal's defense was at fault again. still Wilshere was reluctantly marking Salah while the defensive duo Mustafi and Bellerin stood as if waiting in the sky when the Egyptian midfielder fired a technical shot that held Petr Cech's hand.
Arsenal's goal to reduce the score to 1-2, the big mistake belonged to the away team's defender Gomez. In the situation where Bellerin crossed the ball into the penalty area, Gomez took the initiative to mark Sanchez but was behind the opponent in the direction of the goal. Not only that, if Sanchez did not score in that match, Liverpool would likely be awarded a penalty because Gomez's foot was close to meeting Sanchez.
In Arsenal's 2-2 equaliser, Xhaka's block was a huge strength but goalkeeper Mignolet's mistake could not be ignored. The Belgian goalkeeper was uncovered and his shot went straight into the middle of the goal.
If he had been calmer, he could have used both hands to block the ball. However, when using only one hand, Mignolet watched the ball fly into the net even though he had touched the ball very proactively.
In the situation of being 3-2 behind, Liverpool's defense was extremely shy, they lost in the 6-3 situation. The loss was also a regrettable way as Ozil and Lacazette only needed 2 passes to put the ball into Mignolet's net.
Arsenal made the same mistake as their opponents when they sealed the score at 3-3. Starting with Sanchez's unfortunate fall, the ball reached Salah's feet and with just 3 touches, Liverpool put the ball into Cech's net. When Firmino finished, there were 4 Arsenal players surrounding him.
Arsenal and Liverpool shared points and still stuck in 5th and 4th place in the rankings. That is why I see that no matter how beautiful the attack is, the defense is still giving up goals like that, perhaps the championship dream of both teams will have to be put on hold for many more years.
