MO SALAH’S late goal salvaged a point for Liverpool as they played out an entertaining 2-2 draw with Arsenal at the Emirates.

Bukayo Saka lit up the game when he leapt in behind Andy Robertson, cut back and fired into the roof of the net.

The Gunners’ lead did not last long as Virgil van Dijk headed Liverpool level from a Luis Diaz flick on in the 18th minute.

But Arsenal were back in front before half-time through Mikel Merino.

The Spanish midfielder bagged his first goal for the club, powering home a header from a superb Declan Rice free-kick.

Arsenal suffered a blow in the second half when Gabriel went off injured, leaving them with a centre-back partnership of Ben White and Jakub Kiwior.

And Salah capitalised late on, Darwin Nunez laying it off for the Egyptian who coolly tucked it away.
