In this episode of @TheArsenalRamble we discuss the 2-2 draw against Liverpool. It was all sweet and serene for Arteta's side as they led 2-0 with half-time approaching, goals from Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Jesus a fair reflection of an outstanding display up to that point. Liverpool were downtrodden and the only noise at Anfield came from joyous Arsenal fans and the sound of frustration from the Kop. And then Granit Xhaka disappointingly forgot all the lessons and got involved in a totally needless flashpoint with Trent Alexander-Arnold, enraging Liverpool's players and - just as significantly - Anfield, as it suddenly became the sort of frenzied bearpit this stadium and this crowd feeds off. Mohamed Salah's goal three minutes before half-time set up a second-half siege and what looked like three points for Arsenal became one after Roberto Firmino's late equaliser, and could easily have been none after a frantic finale. Salah missed the chance to equalise when he failed to hit the target with a penalty for the second time in succession after Rob Holding was deemed to have fouled Diogo Jota, which threw himself to the ground... Suddenly it was Arsenal hanging on, needing to show the resolve they have demonstrated so often this season, to withstand the pressure as volume levels rose. Aaron Ramsdale, who had kept his team level with a save from Darwin Nunez when he was clean through, was a heroic figure in the closing moments as he produced a magnificent fingertip save from Salah then miraculously kept out Ibrahima Konate's bundled effort from virtually on the goalline in the dying seconds. Salah even missed a great chance at the far post as Liverpool pushed for victory.
