Arsenal’s struggles persist as they suffered an FA Cup third-round exit against Liverpool. Despite producing 48 attempts on goal in their last two home matches, Arsenal failed to score in either, highlighting their offensive shortcomings. Jakub Kiwior’s own goal and an injury-time strike from Luis Diaz sealed Liverpool’s victory.

Arsenal, now with just one win in their last seven matches, find themselves five points adrift of Liverpool in the Premier League. Gabriel Jesus’ absence due to a knee injury further emphasizes Arsenal’s need for a prolific striker, prompting speculation about a move for Brentford’s Ivan Toney. Mikel Arteta’s team showcased wastefulness in front of goal, with Kai Havertz and Bukayo Saka missing chances.

Liverpool, despite not reaching the heights of their previous title-winning campaign, secured the win and avoided a third-round replay. The victory keeps Liverpool in contention for a quadruple this season, although manager Jurgen Klopp faced challenges with key players on international duty and Virgil Van Dijk sidelined due to illness.

Here is the highlight video of Arsenal vs. Liverpool, which ended with a 0-2 victory for Liverpool.
