"It was resolute and sturdy, as Liverpool's performance at the Emirates wasn't flashy and it didn't need to be, it's a good point. Many a team have gone to Arsenal and caved, but Liverpool came with a plan and stuck to it. Another game unbeaten. A world of five substitutes in which Arne Slot uses one, the same one in which Liverpool don't have a centre-forward, and still get a point at the league leaders tells its own story."
"Alisson Becker was solid in goal for Liverpool as usual. He didn't have many big saves to make in the first half, but made one or two claims to relieve pressure. He made a couple of easy saves at the end and somehow managed to calm down Gabriel Martinelli. The latter must be worth a point in its own right."
Liverpool secured a hard-earned draw at the Emirates, showing resolute, sturdy defending and tactical discipline against the league leaders. The team executed a compact plan and remained unbeaten in another tough away fixture. With limited attacking options and just one substitute used, the side still managed to neutralize Arsenal's pacey wide players. Alisson produced a calm, reliable goalkeeping display with a few late saves. Milos Kerkez improved defensively and contributed going forward, while Virgil van Dijk marshalled the backline without his best moments. Ibrahima Konate followed his assignment closely and looked fast, agile, and commanding.
