I've been really impressed by Liverpool’s response. I think the only thing that they need to do, when they get into the final phase, they’re rushing it.

They just need to take a little bit more care. We know that Arsenal are going to let Liverpool have the ball, but when the game's being stretched, they can get Barcola in the game. That's what they're trying to create. But when they get there, everything's a little bit too rushed or they're taking a shot too early.

Liverpool are right in this game, you know Arsenal are going to be strong defensively. That's what they do. But in terms of the game and the positives, Liverpool are well in this.

And here's how the momentum swung in the first half.

That Arsenal defence earned its money.

Liverpool have had 28 touches in the opposition box so far today, the most on record (since 2008-09) by any side in the first half of a Premier League game against Arsenal.

Did Jurrien Timber get away with one with the shirt pull on Alexander Isak?

VAR said everything was fine but the Arsenal man had a fistful of the top.

The atmosphere here is the best I've heard it in years.

Great half of football. Andoni Iraola will be furious that his side aren't level and that Liverpool haven't had a penalty. As for Mikel Arteta, he won't want to see his Arsenal side get dominated like that again.

Liverpool's 19 crosses are the joint-most of any team in the first half of a Premier League match this season along with Tottenham 19 against Crystal Palace in October.

46.5% of their attacking play has come down the left, with 36% in the middle and just 17.5% down the right.

Bradley Barcola has been a busy bee!

Arsenal lead 1-0 at the break and I've no idea how.

What a first half of football that was.

[The scoreline] doesn't tell the full story. Liverpool should be level from Alexis Mac Allister's opportunities but they've created other chances as well.

Bradley Barcola is the first to be shown a yellow card and it's most likely for his reaction to the referee giving a foul against him.

Arsenal come forward for a rare attack as Declan Rice's shot spins off Ronald Araujo.

We're now into two minutes of added time.

Apart from the first 15 minutes, Liverpool have been outstanding here but can't find the back of the net.

Arsenal look a bit shellshocked.

Oh, Alexis Mac Allister has got to bury that.

It's a beauty of a ball in from Milos Kerkez and you're waiting for Mac Allister to plant his header in the back of the net but he puts it over.

Into the final five minutes of this first half and what a half it's been.

What on earth is Florian Wirtz doing there?

He ignores the run of Bradley Barcola and plays it to an Arsenal player inside instead.

So close for Florian Wirtz!

He aims the free-kick towards the far top corner and it rebounds back off the bar.

What a goal that would've been.

This Arsenal back line is under so much pressure. Organisation is going to be key for them to not concede before half-time.
