Liverpool dumped out Arsenal from the FA Cup with a 0-2 win against them in the Emirates Stadium.

Liverpool achieved a lucrative 0-2 win over Arsenal in the Emirates Stadium in the third round of the competition and dumped out the Gunners from the trophy after a great game where the Jürgen Klopp side was more critical than their rival on the pitch despite the great ball combinations created by the Gunners.

The Merseyside team, who arrived with the important absences of Mohamed Salah and Wataru Endo in their team, managed to impose their efficient game against the Gunners, who never found the way to convert their chances and showed an alarming lack of effectiveness in the final third.

In this sense, Arsenal wasted multiple chances in the first half and were made to pay as a Liverpool skipper Trent Alexander-Arnold's free kick glanced off the head of Kiwior in the 80th minute, which put the Gunners behind in the scoring and forced them to react to remain alive in the competition.

Liverpool profited the locals’ gaps in their defense

With the Gunners totally desperate to score the equalizing goal, Liverpool profited the locals’ gaps in their defense to score a second goal through Luis Diaz in the 95th minute of the game, which sealed the Merseyside team’s victory against the North London team to advance to the fourth round of the FA Cup.
