Arsenal increases Liverpool's ordeal and regains top spot in the English Premier League
Arsenal increased Liverpool's ordeal when they beat it 3-2 Sunday at the Emirates Stadium in the capital, London, in the tenth stage of the English Football League and regained the lead.
The Brazilian Gabriel Martinelli (1) and Bukayo Saka (45 + 5 and 76 from a penalty kick) scored Arsenal's goals, and Uruguayan Darwin Nunes (34) and Brazilian Roberto Firmino (53) goals for Liverpool.
Arsenal hit two birds with one stone, as they regained the lead from Manchester City, who beat Southampton 4-0 Saturday at the opening stage, and stopped a series of four consecutive defeats against Liverpool in the league.
It is the third win in a row for the London team and the eighth in the league this season, raising its score to 24 points, one point ahead of Manchester City.
On the other hand, Liverpool suffered its second loss and failed for the third match in a row to win after two disappointing draws against its neighbor Everton 0-0 and its guest Brighton 3-3, so its score froze at 10 points and fell to tenth place with a postponed match against Chelsea.
Liverpool are waiting for a fiery summit at home next Sunday against Manchester City.
