Last year’s English champion Liverpool struggled in the first half against Arsenal’s concentrated defense. The only exception was Van Dijk’s header from the second minute, which was pulled out by the Ramsdale goalkeeper. In the beginning of the second half, Ödegaard got a chance on the other side of the field, but Alisson caught it again.

Ten minutes after the break, the guests struck. The Portuguese striker Jota pushed through the shot from an angle to the nearest pole. Liverpool immediately took advantage of Arsenal’s defeated defense for the second time and increased the lead over Robertson’s Firmino center in the 62nd minute. The Brazilian striker hit the “Gunners” for the ninth time in his career.

Coach Jürgen Klopp’s charges did not lose the tenth game in a row in the Premier League. By contrast, Arsenal have lost after five previous wins and are still fourth in the incomplete table.

Tottenham could have sent Brighton to the lead in the 5th minute, as Kane, who took the ball from the wrong goalkeeper Sánchez, missed an empty goal. The “Spurs” were still in the first half, when Kulusevsky’s shot went into the Romero net and scored his first goal in Tottenham’s jersey.

After the break, Kane also made a quick break. The 28-year-old English national team scored a record 95th goal on the opponent’s field in the Premier League and became the leader of the second from Wayne Rooney. It was his twelfth goal this season.

After the third victory in the last four matches in the league, Tottenham moved up to seventh place in the incomplete table for the score for West Ham and still has a good match. Brighton is thirteenth in a row after the sixth competition defeat.
