Although Liverpool kicked off the big meeting, it was the home team, Arsenal, who had a dream start to the big meeting.
Already after 57 seconds, Gabriel Martinelli rolled in 1-0 for Arsenal, after a nice counterattack.
However, the Merseyside team did not give up, and worked their way into the match.
After just over half an hour, the acknowledgment also came.
Darwin Núñez, 23, who was signed to Liverpool for around SEK 800 million this summer, poked in 1-1.
The Uruguayan's second league goal for the club.
A result that seemed to stand up to the half-time break.
In the fifth minute of stoppage time, Martinelli again stayed ahead.
This time, however, the Brazilian chose not to shoot - instead, he served an empty net for Bukayo Saka, who easily scored 2-1.
Klopp acted
Both of Arsenal's goals were scored after Liverpool right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold was outplayed.
At half-time, Liverpool coach Jürgen Klopp chose to act: Alexander-Arnold out, Joe Gomez in.
Shortly after the break, Liverpool equalized for the second time in the match.
Roberto Firmino distinctly placed 2-2 with his left foot.
Saka great hero
Then Arsenal took hold of the baton again.
But initially without getting the ball in - despite a lot of chances.
With just over a quarter to go, Arsenal got their golden opportunity.
Gabriel Jesus fell in the penalty area, and referee Michael Oliver was sure: penalty.
Stepped forward Saka, who missed a penalty for England in the EC final against Italy last year.
This time, the now 21-year-old winger was bombproof, and sent in the penalty, and the winning goal, far below Alisson Becker's right post.
Thus, Arsenal top the Premier League with 24 points after nine rounds, one point ahead of Manchester City.
Liverpool is in ninth place with eleven points.
