[Arsenal](/soccer/team?id=359) continued their blistering start to the season with a crucial 3-2 victory against [Liverpool](/soccer/team?id=364) to return to the top of the Premier League table at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday. We couldn't get the points." "We are very disappointed," Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk said. Diaz, the provider, was withdrawn from the pitch eight minutes later through injury. To win in front of our fans is special and it shows how much we are progressing," Saka told Sky Sports. [Gabriel Martinelli](http://espnfc.com/player/_/id/269844/Gabriel-Martinelli) struck in the first minute and [Bukayo Saka](http://espnfc.com/player/_/id/280555/Bukayo-Saka) followed with a brace to sink Liverpool to their second Premier League defeat of the season and into 10th place in the table.

It may just only be October, but it seems as if Liverpool's English Premier League title challenge could be all but over even before Halloween after Jurgen ...

The team is some way below the standards set in recent seasons. With 15 minutes remaining, Arsenal was awarded a penalty and Saka beat Alisson from the spot to put the Gunners in the lead for the third time in the match. Summer signing Darwin Nunez leveled in the 34th minute only for Saka to put the home team ahead once again with a strike just before the break.

Liverpool was dangerous but too open at the back as Arsenal attacked Trent Alexander-Arnold and the Reds' recently-maligned right side.

Sunday's 3–2 victory proved that the Gunners have the resilience—and talent—to be a contender in the race for a Premier League trophy.

Arsenal began the second half the better, but it is still not a team entirely to be trusted. That is not the result of the formation or of the press, but of a deeply flawed decision. Klopp’s side seemed on top at that stage, but the Alexander-Arnold fallibility cost it again in the fifth minute of first-half injury-time as Arsenal scored a goal that exposed just how scrambled his brain has become. That habit of starting slowly, quite apart from anything to do with formation or the form of certain individuals, is a major issue. There are those who insist Alexander-Arnold is a fraud, and those who curse the supposedly excessive caution of the England manager Gareth Southgate in not selecting him. Klopp stuck with the 4-2-3-1 shape he had used in the 2–0 Champions League in over Rangers on Tuesday, a shape that, in theory, offers greater defensive solidity than the 4-3-3 Klopp has habitually used, with the double pivot of Jordan Henderson and Thiago Alcântara protecting the back four and the fullbacks, relieved of the burden of offering attacking width, able to play a little deeper.

Arsenal prove why they are top of the Premier League in a five goal thriller against a Liverpool side struggling for form.

But it was the way they did it that was striking, the sense of a switch of roles. And for the rest of the half Martinelli and Saka probed away there, while Liverpool stuttered. The cross was perfect for Saka to slide the ball home. But this was Liverpool, with that trophy-laden four-man forward line; and Martinelli and Saka just took the game away from them. It was Arsenal here who played like a hard-pressing systems team, a mist of controlled movement; Arsenal who played like Liverpool, that previous Liverpool, the one that will run more, work at your weak points, who create the rage around here. There was a feeling of merciful release in his departure at that point.

The Football Association (FA) is reviewing an incident between opposing players during Arsenal's 3-2 over Liverpool win on Sunday.

"We are aware of an incident that took place during the match between Arsenal and Liverpool. Arsenal boss Arteta said in his postmatch news conference: "It was an incident that happened. We are in dialogue with the match officials and will review the details of the incident," an FA spokesperson said.

Sunday's 3-2 loss at Arsenal left Liverpool 10th in the Premier League table, and the numbers from their season so far make for grim reading.

Only Manchester City (13), Arsenal (12) and Tottenham (10) have won more points in that time. However, the Egyptian's scoring output has since been underwhelming with just two league goals in his first eight league appearances, with none at all in his last five games. Indeed, Salah's last Premier League goal came in a 2-1 defeat against Manchester United at Old Trafford on Aug. Since that fateful day, which led to Scott Parker being fired as manager, the Cherries are unbeaten in the Premier League and have collected nine points from five games under interim boss Gary O'Neil. Since then he's failed to notch against Bournemouth, Newcastle, Everton, Brighton and Arsenal. Liverpool have found themselves trailing at half-time on six occasions already this season having only been behind once at the break last term -- at Manchester City in April. The team went on to finish seventh in the table, 28 points behind champions In total, the Reds have already seen 14 points go begging this season. This comes after Klopp's side finished 23 points above the Gunners in last season's standings. [Mohamed Salah](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/173896/Mohamed-Salah) -- who shared last season's Premier League golden boot with Tottenham's [Son Heung-Min](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/149945/Son-Heung-Min) after scoring 23 goals -- looked to have started the season in buoyant fashion with a goal and an assist in the 3-1 win over Manchester City in the Community Shield.

Arsenal beat Liverpool in a five-goal thriller at the Emirates Stadium as Mikel Arteta's young side went back to the top of the Premier League.

“1-0 to the Arsenal” is the chant here. Ramsdale is back up now and is okay to carry on. Arsenal sat back and looking dangerous on the counter with Bukayo Saka causing problems. It’s all very jolly (from an Arsenal perspective) here. The away side are feeling it. The crowd go wild here. Jurgen Klopp will not be happy with the defending on both Arsenal goals. Clinical edge from the Gunners. Or maybe the questionable defending on both of Arsenal’s goals? Was that the ankle injury he suffered? Pandemonium here at the Emirates. “Thank you so much to the boys and the supporters.

Liverpool winger Luis Diaz has been ruled out until 2023 with knee ligament damage after coming off injured in the defeat to Arsenal on Sunday.

THE BIGGER PICTURE: In Liverpool's faltering start to the season, Diaz was somewhat of a shining light. The Colombian has sustained knee ligament damage and though he does not require surgery, he will miss up to eight weeks, meaning he won't play again for Liverpool until after the World Cup. Diaz was injured in an innocuous challenge with Thomas Partey in the first half of the Reds' 3-2 loss at the Emirates.

The Liverpool forward Luis Díaz has been ruled out until December with a knee injury sustained in the 3-2 defeat against Arsenal.

It means the 25-year-old, who left the Emirates Stadium on crutches with his knee in a brace, will miss at least 10 matches for Jürgen Klopp’s struggling side. [Liverpool](https://www.theguardian.com/football/liverpool) are still awaiting an update on the damage.
