The gradual improvement of Mikel Arteta's Arsenal came to the fore at Anfield on Monday, but it was not enough to placate the champion, who has his three games by wins and puts six points away from Manchester City.

[3-1: Narration and statistics]

Jürgen Klopp's men maintain their winning record spotless after tracing

Alexandre Lacazette's

opening goal

and holding back an Arsenal that is getting closer to being able to fight with the greats of the Premier League.

Even so, Liverpool overwhelmed the 'Gunners' in the first half, with hardly any approaching

Alisson Becker's

goal

.

Virgil Van Dijk gave the first warning with a header that David Luiz had to take almost on the goal line and a shot from Trent Alexander-Arnold from the front touched Héctor Bellerín and was poisoned until he crashed on the crossbar.

The 'Reds' ruled as they pleased and did a lot of damage on the sides, with irregular

Bellerín and Kieran Tierney

, but Arteta had planned the game to take advantage of the counterattacks and achieved it when Liverpool was most confident.

Granit Xhaka sped up the ball, Lacazette threw to the side and

Maitland-Niles

ran the band into the area.

The winger tried to look for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang at the far post, but Robertson intervened, who instead of clearing, put the leather on the penalty spot so that Lacazette, who was passing by, hooked the ball on the turn and outdo Alisson.

The champion's reaction

Arsenal had found themselves with a gift of goal, but failed to maintain the advantage.

In when Liverpool took off in the background, came the reaction of the champion.

Salah

left by force of a weak Tierney, took a centered shot that Leno cleared, but with such bad luck that the ball fell to Mané dead so that he could push into an empty goal.

The goal knocked down Arsenal, who conceded the second before the break when Robertson beat Bellerín and Willian back and took advantage of a cross from the right to beat Leno.

Arteta's men improved in the second half and had chances to draw, especially in Lacazette's boots, who missed two heads-up against Alisson, but in the end Liverpool ended up controlling the match, who enjoyed

Diogo Jota's

debut

with Los 'Reds' in Premier.

The Portuguese also did it with a goal.

After wasting several clear chances and at the twilight of the game, a ball fell to Jota in front, he hooked with his right hand and placed it next to the stick, sentencing Arsenal.

The 'Gunners' are left with six points in three games and are fifth in the table, while Liverpool in second with nine points, only behind Leicester City, which beats them in points difference.
