Liverpool began the weekend on top after winning 11 of their opening 12 games in all competitions under Arne Slot.

But a draw sees the Reds fall one point behind Manchester City at the top of the table, with Arsenal now five points adrift of the leaders in third.

Bukayo Saka recovered from a hamstring injury to start for Arsenal and gave the home side the perfect start with a stunning touch and finish from Ben White's pass on nine minutes.

Virgil van Dijk quickly levelled from a corner, but Arsenal led again before half-time through Mikel Merino's header.

Liverpool improved after the break and got their reward when Darwin Nunez teed up Salah for his eighth goal of the season.
