The day could have gone worse for Liverpool. Ahead of their match against Manchester United on Sunday, the Reds saw two of their title competitors drop points this Saturday.
After Chelsea’s draw at Crystal Palace (1-1) in the middle of the afternoon, Arsenal also lost a few feathers at the start of the evening on the Brighton pitch (1-1).
Liverpool can soar
Still without the injured Bukayo Saka, the Gunners opened the scoring in the first period thanks to the nugget Ethan Nwaneri (17), who opened his account in the Premier League (0-1, 15th). But while Arsenal fell asleep a little, Brighton took the opportunity to equalize with a harsh penalty conceded by William Saliba, and transformed by Joao Pedro (1-1, 61st).
In the standings, Mikel Arteta’s team finds itself 5 points behind Liverpool, but the Reds have two games in hand. That of Sunday against Manchester United, and the derby postponed on the Everton field, which will be replayed on February 11.
