Liverpool maintained their impressive start to the season with their hard-earned Premier League draw against Arsenal on Sunday afternoon. Mohamed Salah equalized inside nine minutes after Virgil van Dijk had earlier equalized for the first time when Reds They tied 2-2.

The result was the first deadlock in Arne Slot his side now trail new leaders Manchester City, although they maintained a four-point gap to the third-placed Gunners.

‌

But there was a lot that went unnoticed or unnoticed during the 90 minutes of the match. Enfield…

The slot is boiling

‌

A little time passed. But Slot is now starting to get a feel for the distinct style of refereeing in the Premier League, which he will soon become fully accustomed to.

After John Brookes caused a stir on the touchline last weekend against Chelsea, this time it was Anthony Taylor who left the Slot with his head in his hands in utter disbelief after punishing Luis Diaz for tackling Thomas Partey in first half.

The Liverpool manager might have been justified in his complaints if it weren’t for the fact that only Arsenal can claim any poor decisions during the game. Apparently.

Nunes discussion

Liverpool certainly did not shine at times during a difficult first half, not least because of the way they conceded two cheap goals.

And although Andy Robertson was at fault for Bukayo Saka’s opener, there was an exchange further down the pitch after Ben White failed to stop the ball before he fired the ball from deep towards the Arsenal striker.

‌

Curtis Jones and Darwin Nunez, the latter of whom was the closest defender, had some revealing words during the home team’s celebration.

Dennis is a menace

There were many great and good former Arsenal players in and around the stadium on Sunday. And that’s not even counting the legendary figure of the club’s mascot, Gunnersaurus.

‌

The Gunners’ title-winning goalkeepers David Seaman and Bob Wilson have been noticed, but the biggest buzz is around Dennis Bergkamp. And he showed he had lost none of his famous creativity when asked what he remembered about helping Thierry Henry score in Arsenal’s previous win over Liverpool.

“WHO?” came the answer. As with the ball at his feet, timing is everything for the Holland legend.

Cody, comic

‌

There was another bizarre moment after a game in the mixed zone, an area where the media occasionally coaxes a player to stop and chat a little.

Cody Gakpo duly agreed and was almost done with the discussion for the day when the final question came up: what message did Slot give to his players at halftime to help turn the game around.

“I have no idea, I was on the field, warming up!” – the Dutchman asked calmly, much to the amusement of everyone present. Who said the Dutch aren’t funny?
