Reds rescue a point in six goal thriller

Liverpool fended off three goals in five minutes from Arsenal to salvage a 3-3 Premier League draw at the Emirates Stadium.

Roberto Firmino’s strike looped home off Petr Cech’s attempted save, to ensure the Reds left north London with a share of the spoils despite having squandered a 2-0 lead.

Alexis Sanchez, Granit Xhaka and Mesut Ozil found the net in a stunning second-half triple salvo, to put Arsenal 3-2 ahead having trailed to goals from Philippe Coutinho and Mohamed Salah.

Liverpool feared leaving empty-handed after Ozil’s neat finish – only to wind up clawing back for a draw.

Liverpool midfielder James Milner said: “When you’re in a position like that at this level you’ve got to see the game out. We have got to become more boring.”

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger said: “In the first half we were paralysed and frozen. We gave too many balls away and looked second best everywhere.

“In the second half we have shown quality, character and played at our level.”
