Brighton and Liverpool played out an entertaining draw at the Amex Stadium in a four goal thriller that ebbed and flowed. Brighton took the lead in the first half thanks to some smart play from Simon Adingra who nicked the ball off Alexis Mac Allister and slotted home a fine finish.

Liverpool responded right at the end of the first half. First Mo Salah was slipped into the far side of the box and calmly sent it into the back of the net. The Reds were then awarded a penalty after a foul on Dominik Szobozslai and Salah stepped up to bag his second of the afternoon.

Roberto De Zerbi’s men kicked on in the second half and were rewarded thanks to some slack defending from Andy Robertson. Solly March’s free kick found Lewis Dunk in the box and he volleyed in the equaliser.

39 mins: Things have heated up now. A throw in from Arsenal gives the ball to Martin Odegaard who lays it off to the edge of the box for the arriving Oleksandr Zinchenko.

He shoots once, twice but both efforts are blocked and City eventually boot the ball away.

Arsenal 0-0 Man City

36 mins: Mateo Kovacic is a lucky, lucky boy. He leaps into a diving tackle Declan Rice and takes out the Arsenal midfielder’s right ankle.

That’s a certain yellow card, but the referee doesn’t pull one out. Perhaps he doesn’t want to send Kovacic, already on a yellow, off so early in the game but Man City have got away with one there.

He’s made this move a couple of times off the ball but this time the ball is flicked over to him but the midfielder cannot reach the dropping ball in order to turn it towards goal.
