Mikel Arteta believes Arsenal’s 3-1 win against Premier League leaders Liverpool proved they have learned the lessons of last season’s title collapse. Arteta’s second-placed side moved within two points of Liverpool with a dynamic display at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday. 

Saka strikes early

The Gunners took the lead through Bukayo Saka’s early strike, then recovered from conceding Gabriel Magalhaes’s own goal on the stroke of half-time. Gabriel Martinelli put Arsenal back in front after Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker missed his attempted clearance on the edge of the area. Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk accepted the blame for failing to clear the ball himself but it was a costly mix-up with Alisson, who also allowed Leandro Trossard’s shot to go through his legs in stoppage time as Arsenal wrapped up the points.
