Jota and Salah earn crucial Liverpool win at Arsenal to boost top-four hopes
Liverpool could feel the knock of opportunity. Chelsea’s shock home defeat to West Brom earlier in the day had blown the doors off their security in fourth place and how Liverpool made capital. Jürgen Klopp’s team have enjoyed themselves in London this season and the trend continued with a fifth win in six visits to go with the draw at Fulham. Rather abruptly, they are within touching distance of a Champions League finish via the Premier League.
This was not just a victory; it was a controlled detonation of Arsenal, who were unable to show any attacking spark. It was all Mikel Arteta’s team could do to cross halfway and it was difficult to remember them creating a chance.

Liverpool called the tune from the first whistle and the only question came to concern whether they could show the needed cutting edge. They gave their answer shortly after Klopp had made a bold substitution just after the hour – sending on the attacker Diogo Jota for the left-back Andy Robertson.
Three minutes later, Jota had thumped home a header from Trent Alexander-Arnold’s cross and it was the prompt for Arsenal to lose the only thing that they had brought to the occasion – their defensive resilience.
Alexander-Arnold has endured a difficult period with his exclusion from Gareth Southgate’s England squad but he was excellent here, with Klopp noting that he had benefited “100%” from not playing during the international break.
