Speaking after the match, Gunners boss Arteta said: “It was an unbelievable game. One of the most intense I’ve seen in 20 years.
“For the players to show the courage and determination, it is a big credit to them. It shows a lot of consistency for this group to do it for two years. We are where we want to be in the league right now. We will have a beautiful family Christmas.”
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp said: “Oh my god, how strong are they?
“We could have won, maybe should have won. Trent hitting the crossbar should have been a goal. It was two really good football teams. Super-intense.”
