It looked as though Arsenal would take their lead into the break but a mess in defence saw them pegged back at half-time.

William Saliba appeared to bounce on Luis Diaz's mis-controlled touch but the ball went on to hit Gabriel's arm and into his own net.

Liverpool will fell lucky to have scored at such a crucial stage in the game as all three of their first-half shots were off target.

The goal could prove decisive for the Reds as they will go seven points clear at the top of the table with a comeback win.
