Liverpool beat Arsenal 2-0 to reignite Premier League race

By Aman Shukla

Liverpool reignited the Premier League title race and came very close to the top spot with a 2-0 victory over Arsenal on Wednesday in the wake of scoring two second-half goals to stretch out their winning streak to nine matches.

Diogo Jota and substitute Roberto Firmino found the net in the span of eight of each other after a flat first-half performance from the visitors at Emirates Stadium.

Liverpool presently has 69 points, one behind Manchester City, which slipped up with a 0-0 draw against Crystal Palace on Monday. If Liverpool can win its remaining nine games, including against City on April 10, the Reds will win the league.

“Of course we have momentum,” Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp said. “But momentum is the most fragile flower on the planet.”

His team is trying to reclaim the Premier League title from City, which lifted the trophy last season. Liverpool won it in 2020, its 19th league title overall.
