at Ashburton Grove 

IT WAS a tale of two mix-ups on a passionate Sunday afternoon in North London, as Arsenal emerged victorious in front of a raw, baying crowd of 60,374 after a fierce test to blow the Premier League title race wide open.

Gabi Martinelli's second half goal - following an almighty mix-up between Reds keeper Alisson and captain Virgil van Dijk - helped Arsenal on their way to win this utterly captivating clash.

In front of a raucous home crowd, energised by the 22-year-old from Brazil’s strike - following an equally disastrous Arsenal defensive error late in the first half that led to Gabriel's own goal - the Gunners moved to within two points of Jurgen Klopp's table toppers.
