70 min: A well worked corner by Arsenal, then a beautiful cross from the left by Pépé. Holding gets a meaty header on it from six yards, but Adrian reacts well to bat it away with both hands!
70 min: Arsenal go forward! Soares picks out a nice cross from the right. Saka takes it down … but can’t get off a shot because Neco Williams rushes in to poke the ball away from him
64 min: Leno has to come to the rescue again, making a spectacular – perhaps even ostentatious – save from Grujic’s looping header. The Arsenal keeper has been very busy, though none of his saves have been outstanding.
63 min: Jota collects a long iagona pass from Minamino, taking it down on his chest before jumping to keep his shot down. Leno makes another save, palming it away for a corner!

45+1 min: Action! Leno plunges to his left to palm away Jota’s header from the corner of the six-yard box. It flies out to Minamino who tries to reroute it back into the goal from four yards with his left foot … but it crashes out off the crossbar!
44 min: Liverpool want a penalty after Ceballos tripped Jota … but the referee rules that the foul took place just outside the box, to the right. Liverpool will have to make do with a freekick from a difficult shooting angle.
