LIVERPOOL sounded an early warning to their title rivals with a stunning 2-0 victory against Arsenal since 2000 at the Emirates Stadium to give Kenny Dalglish's side a massive win in their second Premier League match.
Reckless tackle by Frimpong on Lucas |
Arsenal young guns, Emmanuele Frimpong must surely blame himself after his second caution in the 70th minute saw his side down with 10 men for Liverpool to sneak in two late goals.
An own goal by Aaron Ramsey started the Gunners downfall before substitute Luis Suarez wrapped up the scoreline for his second league goal in injury time.
Frimpong started the match following Alexander Song three match ban did impress and show some fine quality in the Arsenal engine room. The youngster give a good account of himself when he nearly broke the deadlock with a well struck shot at the bottom right-hand corner which Reina dive superbly at full length to deny the midfielder for a corner in the first half.
But in the second half his clumsy challenge on Lucas saw referee give his second yellow in the match which totally turn the match in favour for the visitor. To add more misery for Arsene Wenger another defender Laurent Koncielny suffered a back injury and was replaced by Ignasi Miguel early in the match.
