Arsenal failed to defend their 2-0 lead against Liverpool after the Anfield giants came from behind and equalized to make it end in a 2-2 draw.
Now, Arteta’s men have blown the Premier League title race wide open with just six points ahead of a vicious Manchester City.
It is even more pressurizing for the Gunners, who are hungry to win a cup after 17 years of drought, that their title rivals have a game in hand and an upper hand in their meeting at Etihad.
How it happened
Arsenal leaped big ahead through goals from Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Jesus before Mohamed Salah paid half the debt just before the first half elapsed.
Luck appeared to be on the side of Arsenal when Salah missed a penalty in the second half, but Roberto Firmino spoiled their party with an equalizer just three minutes before the end of regular time.
The Gunners were even glad that they managed a point at Anfield thanks to Liverpool’s failure to maximize on chances and Arsenal’s goalkeeper Ramsdale’s aptness.
