Liverpool, already crowned Premier League champions with four games to spare, saw their post-title form stumble with a 2-2 draw against Arsenal at Anfield. Despite taking a commanding 2-0 lead in the first half through goals from Cody Gakpo and Luis Diaz, the Reds conceded twice after the break as Gabriel Martinelli and Mikel Merino leveled the score for the Gunners.
Merino was sent off late in the match for a second yellow card, but Liverpool failed to capitalize on their numerical advantage. Arsenal’s Andy Robertson thought he had a stoppage-time winner, but the goal was ruled out for an earlier foul.
