If games finished at the 45-minute mark, Arsenal would be 17th in the Premier League table. As it is, they sit fourth at the time of writing after coming from behind, yet again, to claim a fully deserved 1-1 draw with Liverpool.
Given the Gunners' propensity for slow starts, one would have expected Liverpool's lightning-quick forward line of Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane to put their hosts to the sword on a chilly evening in north London.
However, Liverpool proved just as profligate as Arsenal during an unsurprisingly open first half and, even though they eventually took the lead on the hour mark through James Milner, Jurgen Klopp's men were pegged back, with Alexandre Lacazette earning the hosts a merited share of the spoils.
