Arsenal 0-2 Liverpool: Late Jakub Kiwior own goal and Luis Diaz strike sends Reds into FA Cup fourth round - Eurosport

Liverpool

Arsenal, who wasted many opportunities, were eliminated from the FA Cup at their home ground, the Emirates Stadium. Their opponents, Liverpool, who are also in the running for the Premier League title, took advantage of their missed chances and secured a spot in the fourth round with a hard-fought 2-0 win.

Despite dominating the first half, Mikel Arteta's team failed to score, even with several clear chances created - including a Martin Odegaard shot that hit the crossbar. Unfortunately, their inability to convert their opportunities came back to bite them as a late own goal from Jakub Kiwior in the 80th minute, followed by a powerful finish from Luiz Diaz in added time (90+4'), led to Arsenal being knocked out of the competition.

Liverpool's Trent Alexander-Arnold and Diogo Jota had impressive shots that hit the bar during the game. As time went on, Liverpool's performance improved. Alexander-Arnold made an exceptional free-kick, which Kiwior headed in with the back of his head for a goal. Jota passed the ball to Diaz for Liverpool's winning point on the counter-attack.

Arsenal suffered their third consecutive loss following a 1-1 draw with Liverpool just before the Christmas break. It was also the first time that the visitors had beaten Arsenal in the FA Cup since their loss in the 2001 final.

On Wednesday, Jurgen Klopp's confident team will play at home against Fulham in the initial match of the League Cup. Consequently, Arsenal will participate in their next Premier League game against Crystal Palace on January 20 in London.

"Examining Arsenal's Development As A Complete Team"

Mikel Arteta could be thinking about how his team has unexpectedly suffered defeats in their last three matches against West Ham (0-2) and Fulham (1-2) in the Premier League, as well as Liverpool in the FA Cup (0-2).

It was possible for them to emerge victorious in all three games with a considerable lead, but their failure to be effective in the attacking zone prevented that from happening.

Arsenal's recent performances have been both impressive and confusing. While they have produced a remarkable 61 shots in their last three matches, they have only managed to score once, leaving spectators puzzled.

Once the inquiry starts concerning the mishap that happened here, the issue doesn't lie in the absence of hard work or originality.

Taking the next two weeks off might be advantageous as they aim to regain their composure and recover from a challenging period.

Ibrahima Konate: Liverpool's Top Player

In the absence of Captain Virgil van Dijk, Konate held his ground in defence, particularly when Arsenal launched a strong attack at the beginning of the game.

Konate's performance was remarkable in terms of his ability to time his tackles, display his positional awareness and inspire his team-mates. This paved the way for Liverpool to secure an unforgettable win in the dying stages of the match.

The Arsenal team had Ramsdale with a score of 7, White also with 7, Saliba with an 8, Gabriel with an 8, Kiwior with a 6, Odegaard with a 7, Rice with a 7, Jorginho with a 6, Saka with a 6, Havertz with a 6, and Nelson with a 6. Some substitutes were Smith Rowe, Trossard, Martinelli, and Nketiah, each with a score of 6.

In Liverpool's recent match, Alisson got a rating of 7, while Alexander-Arnold did a bit better at 8. Konate and Gomez also received solid scores of 8, with Quansah coming in at a 6. The midfielders, Mac Allister, Elliott, Jones, Diaz, and Nunez, all got a 6 as well, while Gakpo didn't do quite as well with a rating of 6. There were a few substitutions made, with Jota earning a score of 7, and Gravenberch, Clark, and Bradley all getting 6s.

are two big football clubs from England that have been rivals for many years. Both teams have a long and successful history in football, with many talented players and devoted fans. Jakub Kiwior, a passionate fan of Arsenal, recently attended a game between Arsenal and Liverpool. He was excited to witness the intense rivalry between the two clubs firsthand and see some of his favorite players in action. However, the game did not go as planned for Arsenal as they were defeated by Liverpool. Despite the disappointment, Kiwior remained positive and optimistic about the future of his team. Overall, the Arsenal-Liverpool rivalry is a thrilling and exciting aspect of English football, and fans like Kiwior will continue to support their respective clubs through both victories and defeats.

In the 13th minute, Arsenal had an amazing opportunity to score. The team captain, Martin Odegaard, kicked the ball towards the Liverpool goal but unfortunately it hit the bar and didn't go in. Even though the goal wasn't made, the home team was still doing a great job of getting through the Liverpool defense. This particular opportunity came after Saka successfully took the ball away from Joe Gomez.

In the 39th minute, the Arsenal players failed yet again to score. Saka delivered an excellent corner kick that made its way to the middle of the Liverpool penalty area. However, Havertz was unable to connect properly with it and headed it wide from a distance of only five yards. It was an incredible chance that went unfulfilled.

Just before the end of the first half, Liverpool had an excellent opportunity to score. Trent Alexander-Arnold hit the ball hard on the counter-attack, and it managed to get past the goalkeeper, but unfortunately, it hit the bar and came back out. It was a very close call, and they almost managed to score a sneaky goal.

In the 60th minute, Arsenal had yet another chance to score a goal. Unfortunately, Saka missed the opportunity by lifting the volley over the Havertz cross, despite a beautiful move initiated by Odegaard who played the free-kick short. Maybe Gabriel could have dived to head the cross home, but it's too late now. The score remains 0-0.

In 79', Liverpool had a great chance to score first, but they missed narrowly. Diaz took a powerful shot that Ramsdale saved, and then Jota hit the crossbar with a header from Alexander-Arnold's corner kick. Nunez was unable to convert the rebound, and the game remains scoreless.

In the 80th minute, Liverpool managed to score a goal against Arsenal, making the scores 1-0. This was all thanks to a free-kick by Alexander-Arnold, who delivered the ball at an impressive speed. Unfortunately for Arsenal, the pressure was too much for Jakub Kiwior, who accidentally hit the ball with the back of his head, resulting in an own goal. With only a few minutes remaining, Liverpool secured their 1-0 lead.

In the last minute of the game, Liverpool scores another goal against Arsenal, making the score 2-0. It was Diaz who made the goal after a fast and impressive attack led by Jota. Ramsdale had no possibility of saving this goal. With this, Liverpool has secured the win, and the game is over.
