Arsenal came back from a goal down to beat Liverpool 2-1 and end their hopes of braking Premier League’s record points tally. The defeat was Liverpool’s third this season and dashed any chances of equalling Man City’s record 100 points tally in a single Premier League campaign. The visitors started well and went ahead inside the opening 20 minutes when Sadio Mane scored from an Andy Robertson’s low cross. But Virgil van Dijk and goalkeeper Alisson Becker’s errors in the first half gave Arsenal a chance to get back into the game and the Gunners were ruthless in their finishing. Liverpool to Be Presented with Premier League Trophy After Match Against Chelsea at Anfield Stadium on July 22.

While Reiss Nelson scored the second after Lacazette found him open inside the Liverpool box having caught the Liverpool defence off guard.
