Salah equaliser denies Arsenal victory against Liverpool

Mohamed Salah scored in the 81st minute to rescue a 2-2 draw for Liverpool against Arsenal in a pulsating Premier League encounter at the Emirates.

Bukayo Saka, absent from Arsenal’s last two games with a hamstring injury, scored the opener after just nine minutes.

This was before Virgil van Dijk hauled Liverpool level.
