Liverpool produced a brilliant fightback to come from two goals behind and secure a draw against Arsenal in the Premier League. The entertaining Sunday night contest at Anfield was filled with action-packed moments. At one point Arsenal were running away with the match after taking a 2-0 lead in the early stages. However, Liverpool never gave up and rallied back into the contest to make it 2-2. The Reds dominated the second half and even had opportunities to win the match late on, however, they had to settle for a draw in the end.
Trent Alexander-Arnold wants to use the fightback as a motivation to do well in their next game. “Ibou had a big chance and obviously the pen. It’s one of those days. We did all we could,” he told Liverpoolfc.com. “We take the point and try to improve it next week. We’ve got a full week to go and train, and that’s what we need to go and do.”
“We have our targets and it’s going to be difficult to get Champions League football now I think. But it’s still mathematically possible, so as long as that’s possible then that’s what we go for. We’re not in the position we want to be in at all but there’s still nine games to go. That’s where our heads are at – let’s go and try to win all nine.”

Next up for Liverpool is a crucial away fixture against Leeds United coming Monday. Trent Alexander-Arnold wants Liverpool to build on the draw against Arsenal and get the maximum points against Leeds. “We showed a different side to us. One that we’ve had in previous seasons, where we get past disappointment and are able to get back into games – and we showed that, so that’s a decent sign,” he added.
“But we need to be getting three points. No matter whether we’re playing top of the league or bottom of the league, three points is our aim and we know we could have got that [against Arsenal]. We showed a different side to us. We showed that we really wanted to go out there and put a good performance in. Even though you’re playing probably the best team in the league, we still showed our quality and dominated them for the whole second half and should’ve won the game.”
