EPL: Liverpool, Arsenal share spoils at Anfield; Man Utd beaten by Hammers

Liverpool and Arsenal played a 1-1 draw in a Premier League top of the table clash at Anfield on Saturday night.

The Reds were battling to return to the top of the table, and could have achieved that with a win over the Gunners.

Arsenal defender Gabriel had headed home from Martin Odegaard’s free-kick on four minutes before the hosts leveled on the half hour mark through Mohamed Salah.

Mikel Arteta’s side, at the summit, and Jurgen Klopp’s side, now in second place, settled for a share of the points in an entertaining encounter.
