Liverpool supervisor Arne Slot hailed a “Mo Salah particular” because the Egyptian ahead’s purpose noticed his facet come from behind to beat Brighton & Hove Albion 2-1 and go high of the Premier League on Saturday.

Salah secured the factors for Liverpool at Anfield to place Arne Slot’s facet two factors away from injury-hit champions Manchester Metropolis who misplaced within the league for the primary time in 11 months, happening to a shock 2-1 defeat at Bournemouth.

Finishing a dream day for Liverpool, fellow title rivals Arsenal misplaced 1-0 at Newcastle United.

Liverpool fell behind after 14 minutes towards Brighton with Turkey worldwide Ferdi Kadioglu rifling in a surprising effort because the guests seized management.

Slot’s facet had been struggling to get again on stage phrases however obtained a break when Cody Gakpo’s 69th-minute cross went straight into the online to elevate the temper.

Three minutes later Salah curled dwelling a surprising effort from the proper facet of the penalty space and that proved sufficient.

“The second purpose was a Mo Salah particular,” Slot instructed BBC Sport. “It is not the primary and never the final time he’ll rating from that place.”

Slot has loved the very best begin by any new Liverpool supervisor since changing Jürgen Klopp and Saturday’s victory was his facet’s thirteenth in 15 matches in all competitions.

Slot’s eight wins in his first 10 Premier League video games are additionally probably the most ever by a Liverpool supervisor in his first 10 top-flight league video games in cost.

Whereas the defeats for Metropolis and Arsenal had been a bonus, the Dutchman mentioned he was solely involved together with his personal facet.

“Not due to these outcomes but it surely feels particular as a result of we confronted Arsenal final week who’re a really robust workforce,” he mentioned.

“Right now we confronted the identical high quality and concept about soccer and each occasions we needed to come from behind to get a end result. That’s what makes my day, not a lot the outcomes from different video games.”

The one adverse on the day was centre-back Ibrahima Konaté coming off at half-time with an obvious arm harm.

Konate walked off the sphere grimacing in ache and utilizing his shirt as a makeshift sling for his left arm after teammate Virgil van Dijk appeared to by chance step on his forearm after a nook.

Slot mentioned it was too early to evaluate the severity of the harm however hoped the defender wouldn’t want a prolonged layoff.

“We do not know but. He had loads of ache, however he hasn’t been to the hospital but, and perhaps it’s not even essential to go to the hospital, I do not know,” Slot mentioned at his post-game information convention.

“It’s at all times tough to evaluate an harm within the first hour or first 10 minutes after it occurs. Let’s hope he might be with us as quickly as potential as a result of he had a huge impact on our season till now.”

Data from Reuters and The Related Press contributed to this report.

It ended with a Bukayo Saka cross straight into the arms of Nick Pope. A floated, telegraphed supply despatched extra in hope than expectation, which summed up an Arsenal efficiency missing creativeness and perception.

The clock learn 96 minutes as Newcastle defended their field and the Gallowgate Finish demanded to listen to the ultimate whistle. It had the look and theatrics of a title challenger barging down the door within the seek for an equaliser, however it didn’t have that really feel.

The largest concern for Arsenal is not only that the 1-0 defeat leaves them fourth (and probably as little as sixth by Sunday night), seven factors behind Liverpool after 10 video games. It’s that Arsenal have returned to the risk-averse method that made a lot of the primary half of final season so stale.

The nearer Arsenal have gotten to Manchester Metropolis, the extra Mikel Arteta has sought to squeeze the margin for error. Eradicating the bandwidth for spontaneity, condensing the sport into fewer huge moments and decreasing huge video games to low-xG affairs has turn into the recipe for visits to locations like St James’ Park.

The meanest defence and probably the most suffocating press was the bedrock of final season’s title problem. It was largely efficient, albeit a grind quite than glamorous, however Arsenal moved away from that at first of the calendar yr, rising from a poor run over Christmas as a staff unburdened. The improved freedom noticed them rating 31 targets in seven video games and so they have been rampant for an prolonged interval.

The primary 10 video games of this season, whether or not accidentally or design, has seen a gradual return to a extra attritional method. With solidity prioritised, it has seen Arsenal evolve right into a practical staff in possession that not often surprises, in comparison with the expansive model that initially turned them into title challengers in 2022-23.

The issue with a restrictive method is that if you happen to go behind it’s troublesome to loosen the reins, significantly in case your midfield has been composed to compete quite than management. Arsenal have discovered this out the exhausting means, having fallen 1-0 behind in 4 of their final six Premier League video games, as many as their earlier 31.

Saturday’s loss — the primary time they’ve misplaced consecutive video games at St James’ since a run of three between 1994 and 1996 — was a repeat of the failure a yr in the past. Solely this time, there was no controversy over Newcastle’s purpose to distract from Arsenal’s deficiencies.

Final November’s defeat was the second-lowest xG of any Arsenal sport final season and the one time in 38 video games that they’d fewer than two photographs on course in a sport. They repeated that undesirable feat on Saturday with solely a single shot testing Pope.

In Martin Odegaard’s absence, the midfield has turn into an unproductive zone. Mikel Merino regarded caught between three positions, as did Leandro Trossard. No participant was connecting the totally different sections of the staff.

It was the seventh sport from 10 that Arsenal didn’t create over 1.0 anticipated targets (xG) from open play. A big a part of their open-play complete of 0.65 xG at Newcastle got here from Declan Rice’s headed miss within the 93rd minute, the one second within the sport that Arsenal created a clear-cut likelihood outdoors of dead-ball conditions.

And that’s the concern for Arsenal. The one time Newcastle and the house crowd appeared to sense imminent hazard was when Arsenal had a nook or a free kick.

Creating so many goalscoring alternatives from set items could be a superpower. It has been for Arsenal on many events, significantly in breaking the impasse or getting them degree, however there’s a hazard that it begins to compensate for a scarcity of likelihood creation.

Arsenal have solely registered 37 photographs (7.4 per sport) on the highway this season, the second-lowest complete behind Brentford. They’ve had a really robust schedule thus far having travelled to Aston Villa, Manchester Metropolis, Tottenham, Bournemouth and Newcastle however these numbers nonetheless paint an image of their attacking ambitions.

The absence of Odegaard, whose return from ankle ligament injury is imminent, was initially overcome by Arteta displaying flexibility in his alternative of form however he has turn into conspicuous by his absence.

It’s troublesome to flee the conclusion that Arsenal’s sport is over-reliant on the Norwegian, with 17-year-old Ethan Nwaneri the one comparable kind of participant within the squad.

“Yeah, we don’t have him. We are able to focus on that every one day lengthy,” stated Arteta after Saturday’s sport.

“We haven’t had him for the final 4 or six weeks and we don’t have him but. However we’ve many different solutions which have been very efficient. In the present day we have to have a look at ourselves and congratulate Newcastle and transfer on.”

They have been struggling to create possibilities within the early months of final season, too, however the essential distinction is that they have been capable of fall again on the watertight defence.

Whereas Newcastle have been commonly successful duels and lower by way of Arsenal’s midfield 4 or 5 instances within the first half, which could have been an unsettling sight for Arteta.

“You understand the sport they need to play. It’s clear,” stated Arteta of Newcastle.

“You get dragged into that type of sport too typically and we weren’t ok and didn’t have sufficient solutions to get out of that continually, particularly to create the menace that we wanted and mentioned.”

Is it a case of Arsenal being so distracted by the concept of successful the battle that their technical means suffers because of this? Arsenal regarded in determined want of a participant taking cost and bringing some route to their play.

“It’s simpler to say it than to get it executed,” stated Arteta. “We knew and we respect that each opponent has its traits and qualities. They’re excellent at what they do.”

Arteta tried to achieve management. He launched Oleksandr Zinchenko as an inverted full-back, moved Thomas Partey from right-back into midfield and gave Ethan Nwaneri greater than half an hour. He even threw on Jorginho within the 86th minute in a bid to seek out some rhythm however it by no means got here.

Arsenal at the moment are winless of their final three Premier League video games. The two-0 loss to Bournemouth had the caveat of William Saliba’s purple card and the 2-2 draw with Liverpool was towards a title rival.

It’s too early for panic however, no matter context, Arsenal discover themselves in a rut. Two seasons in the past they may not untangle themselves from a defensive decline that set in in the course of the run-in, whereas final season it was a run of 5 video games in December that proved expensive.

Arsenal are too sturdy and constant a staff to fade away however they have to be bolder and revive the spark of their attacking play if they’re to forestall this unhealthy run from turning into terminal.

NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, England — The handshakes have been cursory and the celebrations extended. Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe mentioned Saturday’s 1-0 win over Arsenal “means a lot extra” due to latest poor outcomes, however there may be one more reason; Alexander Isak’s Twelfth-minute header not solely dented the Gunners’ Premier League title hopes, but in addition deepened one of many division’s extra unlikely rivalries.

Howe and Mikel Arteta have tried to make their sides extra combative and streetwise as they eye grander prizes. Because of this, when these groups conflict, sparks are inclined to fly. This was one other feisty affair — albeit with out the acute flashpoints of the previous — however the seismic penalties of Newcastle’s win creates a brand new chapter within the rising animosity between two golf equipment with no geographical or historic motive to sq. off till latest years.

Newcastle’s Saudi Arabian-led takeover in 2021 awoke a sleeping large decided to gatecrash the established elite, a spot the place Arsenal have habitually resided regardless of ready 20 years for a league title. Arteta refused to suppose in these phrases regardless of lacking a possibility to shut the hole on Liverpool (who gained their match in a while Saturday, whereas defending champions Manchester Metropolis additionally misplaced) on the prime of the desk however could not assist a small dig at Newcastle on his approach out of St James’ Park.

“You understand the sport they need to play,” he mentioned after the match. “It is clear. You get dragged into that sort of recreation too typically and we weren’t adequate and did not have sufficient solutions to get out of that always.”

Howe dismissed Arteta’s evaluation as “irrelevant,” like another “exterior noise.” Each managers are too savvy to be drawn into open warfare, however the enmity between Newcastle and Arsenal undoubtedly exists and has grown in recent times.

On-field frustration

Newcastle inflicted a harmful 2-0 defeat on Arsenal on the finish of the 2021-22 season that successfully ended their hopes of Champions League qualification. Though the Gunners’ insipid efficiency that evening triggered a livid response from Arteta, his ire was targeted inward quite than in the direction of his opponents given they mustered so little menace regardless of the stakes in play.

Issues modified in January 2023. Newcastle held Arsenal 0-0 at Emirates Stadium in a match that includes escalating anger and frustration because the guests defended resolutely and incessantly slowed the sport down. The ball was in play for round eight minutes lower than the Premier League common for a match on the time. Arsenal have been aggravated additional in harm time as a late penalty enchantment for a handball from Jacob Murphy was not awarded by referee Andy Madley and VAR didn’t intervene.

Arteta and Howe exchanged heated phrases on the touchline and afterwards the Spaniard mentioned: “We had so many conditions after which we had two scandalous penalties. They’re two penalties, it is quite simple. I am speaking about what I’ve seen, now, and it is two scandalous penalties. I’m not certain why they arrange like that. They have not arrange like that towards any group this season.”

A supply has instructed ESPN that Arsenal subsequently used the instance of Newcastle’s working the clock down that day — which started early within the first half — in subsequent conversations with Skilled Recreation Match Officers Restricted (PGMOL) on the right way to enhance officiating. There was, then, specific satisfaction when Arsenal returned the favour throughout a 2-0 win at St James’ in Might 2023.

Howe mentioned: “They slowed it down. Numerous breaks in play, irritating for us. Naturally, we needed the ball in play extra, particularly once you’re chasing the sport.” Arteta mentioned in response: “For certain, our group is not like that.” Besides they’re.

Earlier than Saturday, for the reason that starting of the 2022-23 season, Arsenal have acquired 21 yellow playing cards for time-wasting. Solely Aston Villa (34) and Chelsea (24) recorded extra. After the primary 5 video games of this season, Arsenal delayed restarting play greater than another group, on common for 34 seconds.

Of their first 9 league video games of the season, the Gunners had acquired seven yellow playing cards for time-wasting — a league excessive. That may partly be defined by Arsenal needing to handle video games having gone all the way down to 10 males on three separate events, however it’s also a measure of the street-smarts Arteta has tried to instill in his younger squad.

Newcastle have a behavior slowing the sport down, too. Because the begin of the 2022-23 season, solely Leeds United (51 minutes and 58 seconds) have been concerned in matches with much less time the place the ball is in play than Newcastle (54:06). Arsenal are tenth by that exact metric on 56:51.

In his customary model, Howe tried to diffuse the state of affairs earlier than Saturday’s recreation by claiming accusations of his aspect time-wasting and using “darkish arts” have been “partially, over-hyped and talked about extra as a result of we have been [winning and leading games] quite a bit that season.”

But on Saturday, Arteta bemoaned the variety of fouls his group conceded — 18 to Newcastle’s 16 — and his frustration at the kind of recreation this turned. After beginning properly, Isak scored, the momentum shifted and Newcastle dug deep and defended — with a level of consolation — for nearly all the second half as Arsenal struggled to interrupt them down. This time, at the very least, Arteta stored his frustrations in examine on the touchline.

Off-field friction

The strain between the 2 golf equipment really exploded final season when Arsenal visited St James’ Park. A decent recreation was settled by a solitary objective which the Gunners believed ought to by no means have stood. Anthony Gordon’s Sixty fourth-minute strike secured a 1-0 win for Newcastle after surviving three separate VAR checks to find out whether or not the ball went out of play, if there was a foul within the build-up and for a doable offside.

Arteta was apoplectic afterwards, saying: “We misplaced the match due to the clear and apparent choices. It is embarrassing. A shame. That is what it’s — a shame. You can not think about the quantity of messages I bought saying this can not proceed. I’m losing my time. We’re losing our time. I do not need to be within the fingers of individuals.”

Sources have instructed ESPN that Arsenal had been partaking in what they felt was constructive dialogue in an effort to assist enhance the usual of officiating within the league, and Arteta’s postmatch feedback ought to due to this fact be seen by way of that prism quite than any abuse of the match officers. It was an argument which fashioned a key a part of Arteta’s defence at an impartial Regulatory Fee listening to after the FA charged him with misconduct.

On the listening to, Arsenal left nothing to likelihood. Whereas the Soccer Affiliation relied on two folks to argue their case, Arteta had no fewer than six folks in his nook: two barristers, Richard Garlick (then Arsenal’s director of soccer operations, now the membership’s managing director) and three of Arsenal’s in-house authorized group. Arsenal’s sense of injustice was fuelled by former midfielder Joe Willock — who was a second-half substitute for Newcastle in that 1-0 defeat — privately admitting to a number of Gunners gamers that he felt the objective ought to have been disallowed.

Arteta was subsequently cleared. One supply with hyperlinks to Newcastle mentioned the membership watched these proceedings with a “wry smile” from afar, noting that no matter complaints Arsenal had, in the identical recreation Kai Havertz might simply have been despatched off for a first-half lunge at Sean Longstaff.

Talking on Friday, Arteta was requested by ESPN whether or not he felt there have been any lasting penalties from such a public spat with PGMOL. He responded: “No, hopefully we’re previous it. We talked by way of it in depth and that is carried out. It’s a 12 months. A 12 months in soccer is a protracted, very long time.” The Gordon objective, nevertheless, was a second Arteta admitted skipping previous in his video preparation for Saturday’s return.

What ought to concern him extra after this newest defeat was how they wilted after a promising begin and lacked the requisite invention of their play with out captain Martin Odegaard. Even their set-piece performs have been poor, mainly due to Declan Rice’s unusually inaccurate supply.

Touchline antics

Arteta has often been criticised for his previous behaviour on the touchline. It’s one thing the 42-year-old himself has sought to deal with after a sequence of clashes with officers and managers, together with Howe and his assistant Jason Tindall through the 0-0 attract Jan. 2023.

Along with PGMOL, the FA and the EFL, the Premier League tried to tighten the principles round touchline exercise originally of final season by stopping a couple of individual standing on the entrance of the technical space throughout matches. Sources have instructed ESPN that Tindall’s behaviour was cited in discussions previous to the rule being carried out, one thing ex-Liverpool boss Jürgen Klopp later hinted at by joking in Aug. 2023 that “I believe it is just for one group an actual downside: Newcastle. Sorry!”

Below the stricter new guidelines, Arteta was booked 5 instances final season — a league excessive for managers alongside former Brighton & Hove Albion boss Roberto de Zerbi. He’s certainly one of solely 5 managers but to be yellow-carded this time period and beforehand spoke about how meditation now kinds a part of his routine.

“On the touchline I have not bought to that time the place I’m in meditation mode but, however perhaps it’s one thing that has to occur,” he mentioned. “I simply need the perfect for the group and I need to give the group the perfect likelihood to be as aggressive as doable, to win the vast majority of the soccer matches. After they modified the principles and sure behaviours in the direction of the touchline we have to adapt to that and evolve. That’s what I attempt to do.”

That try and adapt at the very least partially explains Arteta’s palpable annoyance at Tindall on Saturday. He might be seen on a couple of event mentioning to fourth official Darren Bond that Tindall was stood alongside Howe in breach of the principles.

Arteta additionally held up 4 fingers to Bond in mentioning the variety of fouls Joelinton dedicated with out being booked. There have been handshakes at full-time however no lingering embrace and, doubtlessly, no love misplaced.

Transfers

It will be a stretch to recommend the 2 golf equipment are reluctant to do enterprise with one another within the switch market however there are a lot of cases of admiring glances being forged within the path of gamers on the opposing group. Willock left Arsenal for Newcastle in Aug. 2021 for £25 million and he began in midfield on Saturday alongside Bruno Guimarães, who the Gunners have beforehand proven an curiosity in. No provide ever materialised, however as a result of potential switch price concerned, Arsenal appeared elsewhere.

The identical is true of Isak, who in that context considerably inevitably made them pay with an excellent successful objective, benefitting from Gordon’s very good supply to plant a agency header previous David Raya on 12 minutes.

Arsenal have been scouring the marketplace for a striker over latest months and checked out alternate options when their most popular selection, Benjamin Šeško, signed a brand new contract to remain at Crimson Bull Leipzig.

Isak — who now has 12 objectives in his final 12 house video games within the league — can depend Chelsea amongst his potential suitors however all golf equipment have been instructed by Newcastle in the summertime that they have been reluctant to let him depart and wouldn’t countenance something lower than a British-record switch. Meaning they might maintain out for a price in extra of the £115m that Chelsea paid Brighton for Moisés Caicedo.

Newcastle explored strikes for Arsenal fringe gamers Aaron Ramsdale — who ultimately joined Southampton — and Kieran Tierney however with out success.

Differing outlooks

These two golf equipment are more and more opposed at a philosophical degree. Arsenal self-funded their transfer to Emirates Stadium and are a part of a longtime elite generally sceptical of latest cash motives and methodology. Owned outright by Kroenke Sports activities Enterprises since 2018, sources say the Gunners are broadly supportive of the league’s Revenue and Sustainability Guidelines, at the very least when it comes to attempting to carry some sensibility to spending.

Newcastle have been acquired by Saudi Arabia’s Public Funding Fund in October 2021 with the purpose of “often competing for main trophies” — a objective that will be a lot simpler to achieve if spending was unchecked and authorities took a liberal strategy to sponsorship offers involving firms linked to a membership’s house owners.

Manchester Metropolis’s latest authorized case towards the Premier League over these related occasion transaction (APT) guidelines uncovered the fault strains additional. The argument centred on how APTs are managed, particularly if and the way potential sponsor agreements involving firms already carefully tied to a membership must be assessed by truthful market worth to keep away from synthetic inflation. Restrictions on truthful market values have been launched by the Premier League shortly after Newcastle’s takeover in Dec. 2021, with golf equipment voting 12-6 in favour with two abstaining.

When the case was heard, Metropolis argued the principles have been anti-competitive and due to this fact illegal. Performing as witnesses for Metropolis have been Chelsea, Newcastle and Everton — three golf equipment which have all been the topic of takeovers inside the final three years. On the opposite aspect, Arsenal have been known as as a witness for the Premier League together with Manchester United, Liverpool and Tottenham amongst others.

A sophisticated verdict was introduced final month — either side claimed victory because the Premier League argued the APT framework was upheld however Metropolis identified a few of their complaints have been upheld. It was a prelude to Metropolis’s larger struggle with the Premier League concerning 115 costs of breaching monetary guidelines — a case at present being heard — but in addition underlined the differing viewpoints at boardroom degree which have created sudden alliances and enemies amongst top-flight golf equipment.

Environment

Earlier in his tenure as Arsenal boss, Arteta would often cite a want to make Emirates Stadium a extra intimidating venue for opponents by making a stronger bond with supporters.

In Jan. 2024, he mentioned: “We’re actually proud of the ambiance that we’ve created on the Emirates. It has been actually supportive. Can we tweak it and make it much more hostile? I believe we will. That is the following step in my view.”

Sources have instructed ESPN that St James’ Park was one of many atmospheres Arteta sought to attract inspiration from, and a month later that they had an opportunity to make a degree to Newcastle within the return fixture following the Gordon controversy.

Sources say that whereas the extra prematch mild present, tifos, flags and motivational social media movies have been designed to rally supporters for an unusually late weekend kick-off (8 p.m. UK time), they have been additionally partially a mirrored image of the opposition.

On Saturday, Arsenal tried a thoughts recreation of their very own at kick-off once they gained the coin toss, selecting to swap sides so Newcastle couldn’t assault their favoured Gallowgate Finish within the second half. The ambiance wasn’t at its rip-roaring greatest, maybe as a result of early kick-off 12:30 p.m. native time) or Newcastle’s detached latest type.

However St James’ was euphoric on the finish with Arsenal now made to attend till Might for a shot at revenge towards their new rivals from the opposite finish of the nation.
