Liverpool vs Arsenal ends in ‘craziest 30 seconds EVER’ as fans call 2-2 thriller ‘game of the season’
LIVERPOOL and Arsenal shared the points after an incredible encounter at Anfield finished 2-2.
The action continued right to the final seconds, with both teams having chances to win the game in a breathless finale.
Sunday’s encounter at Anfield had everything, including assistant referee Constantine Hatzidakis appearing to elbow Liverpool star Andy Robertson.
When the final whistle finally blew, some fans on social media were left calling it the “game of the season”.
An incredible last minute of action saw Aaron Ramsdale palm away a Mohamed Salah effort that was destined for the top corner.
Ramsdale then came to Arsenal’s rescue again – acrobatically keeping out an Ibrahima Konate effort when it looked easier for the Liverpool man to score than miss.
The ball then fell to the feet of Salah who went down in the box claiming for a penalty, having already missed once from the spot.
Ref Paul Tierney waved away the claims as Arsenal counter-attacked, looking for a late winner.
Gabriel Martinelli had the ball on the left but couldn’t find a killer pass through to Bukayo Saka on the right.
The final whistle then finally blew, bringing an end to a remarkable game of football.
