Arsenal lacked a killer instinct against Liverpool, leaving the door open for Man City to grab title

Arsenal blew a two-goal lead against Liverpool at Anfield, dropping two points, which could prove decisive in their race against Manchester City to win the Premier League title.

First-half goals from Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Jesus had put the Gunners in control and on course to restore their eight-point lead at the top of the table. But a Mohamed Salah goal pulled one back for Liverpool before half-time and, although the Liverpool forward missed a second-half penalty, Roberto Firmino's 87th minute header earned a 2-2 draw for the home side.

It could have been worse for Arsenal, though, had goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale not produced two stunning saves in stoppage time to deny Salah and Ibrahima Konate.
