In the 90+2 minute, Leandro Trossard dribbled from the left wing and finished through Alisson Becker's legs, sealing the victory for the home team. On the sidelines, coach Mikel Arteta ran like the wind to celebrate. He could not hide his joy at overcoming the Premier League leaders.
However, during the online exchange, Rio Ferdinand disagreed with this action: " Looking at Arteta, I thought Arsenal had won the Premier League. The coach ran around the field with 10,000 steps just to celebrate winning a match, this is meaningless ."
Coach Arteta was overwhelmed with emotion after winning against Liverpool.
Asked whether Arsenal were ready to challenge for the title, Ferdinand said: " No way. Arteta's celebration has nothing to do with the title race at the moment. Arsenal are making themselves feel like they're going to win the Premier League but they're being lied to. 'Deceive FC' (mocking Arsenal) should worry about Man City, they're the team that will be leading, with two games in hand ."
However, Rio Ferdinand still praised Gabriel Martinelli.
" Martinelli hasn't been in good form recently but after this match, it seems like he will return to his best. When he was substituted, the Brazilian striker clearly showed his discomfort. If Arsenal know how to create opportunities for Martinelli and Saka to shine like last season, they should think about the championship, " the former MU midfielder added.
Arsenal ended Liverpool's 11-match unbeaten streak, while also narrowing the gap with their Merseyside rivals to 2 points. This was also the Gunners' second consecutive victory over the Reds, at home at the Emirates Stadium, in the Premier League.
