Arsenal vs Liverpool LIVE: Premier League result and final score as Saka wins huge five-goal thriller

44 min: Cristiano Ronaldo scores his 700th club goal! Casemiro wins the ball in midfield from Iwobi and fires a pass into Ronaldo, and the rest was almost inevitable. The striker takes a couple of touches as he steadies himself before firing low past Jordan Pickford.

42 min: Huge chance for Casemiro to score his first Premier League goal. He ghosts into the box and Rashford picks out the Brazilian with a floated cross to the near post, but somehow Casemiro misses the target with his header.

41 min: Cristiano Ronaldo gets his first real sight of goal, shifting inside from the right on to his left foot, but his shot from outside the box is scuffed and tame, perhaps showing a little rust from not playing too much so far this season.

37 min: Goal... but no goal. United break forwards and after a bit of pinball in the box, Bruno Fernandes fires a shot into the goal, but it’s brought back for an offside in the build-up against Ronaldo. It was avoidable if the striker had just let the ball run for Bruno in the first place, which clearly frustrated the passer Rashford, but there we are.

35 min: United are the team applying the pressure as this first half rumbles on, but they are struggling to create anything clear-cut at present. Antony and Rashford have switched wings, without much effect.

32 min: Bruno Fernandes tries an unnecessary Cryuff-turn in the box when he could have just crossed the ball with his left foot, and a grumpy Ronaldo flails his arms.

29 min: Ronaldo, of course, is one goal away from 700 career goals. He spurned a few good chances to get to the landmark number in midweek – can he do it tonight? He has a little over an hour.

27 min: Now then – Cristiano Ronaldo is stripping off his outer layers and tying up his laces. Anthony Martial could have picked up a knock, and it seems he can’t continue.

25 min: Mykolenko is hobbling a little after landing awkwardly on his left foot, but seems OK to continue for now.

22 min: A crucial intervention – Pickford does well to smother at Martial’s feet as the forward wriggled away from a couple of defenders inside the six-yard box. The visitors looks sharp and dangerous right now.
