Arsenal vs Liverpool on hiatus after protesters try to attach themselves to goal

The clash at Emirates was a clash that had a huge impact on the Premier League table but was almost halted due to a protester making his way onto the pitch.

Arsenal’s Defeat 0-2 at home by Liverpool was almost halted briefly after a protester managed to hold on midway through the second half.

Referee Andre Marriner forced to delay a Liverpool tee off a few seconds after a young man in a T-shirt reads “just stop the oil” and “we have no future” emerge from the Emirates crowd and take to the pitch to try to tie his own hands around the goal. Managers rushed in and dealt with the matter quickly, pulling protesters out of goal before the game resumed.

The activist barely put up with many fights as he was cornered with ads and really just seemed resigned to the fact that his stunt didn’t go as planned. It remains unclear whether the protest was carried out on behalf of any particular group or organization.

Liverpool finally took all three points without any further interruptions after .’s goals Diogo Jota and Roberto Firmino enough to put the Reds just one point behind their championship competitors City of Manchester. Pep Guardiola will worry about how far the Reds have closed the gap on his side with the remaining nine games of the season.

The pair will face off at the Etihad in early April in what has been billed as the biggest match of the campaign for both teams. After 22 games, Man City led the Red Devils by nine points, seven games later, that advantage has been cut by eight.

The result is a body blow to Arsenal who are desperate to secure the coveted fourth place as a means of securing Champions League football next season for the first time since the 2016/17 campaign. The Gunners are still fourth despite the defeat, although ideally would put daylight further between them and fifth place Manchester United.
