Liverpool on the brink: Arsenal draws delay title celebration against Spurs
Arsenal FC, the rival of FC Liverpool, has delayed the upcoming championship match.
Football enthusiasts had their eyes glued to the screens on Wednesday evening, as FC Liverpool were a hair's breadth away from being crowned champions in England. But alas, the dream was deferred once again after FC Arsenal played a thrilling 2-2 draw against Crystal Palace. Liverpool can still claim the title, but not until they face Tottenham Hotspur next weekend.
A title party awaited the Reds had FC Arsenal lost their home game. However, the Gunners proved resilient, demonstrating an impressive ability to bounce back from adversity. Two goals from Jakub Kiwior (3') and Leandro Trossard (42') gave Arsenal a promising start, only for Eberechi Eze (27') and substitute Jean-Philippe Mateta (83') to turn the tide for Crystal Palace.
In an action-packed game, Arsenal came close to pulling off another surprising result against the Reds. A poor pass from defender William Saliba gifted Mateta possession just before the equalizer, providing the French striker with a golden opportunity to shine. Despite a weakened condition due to recent injuries, Mateta capitalized on the chance, gracefully chipping the ball over the keeper and into the net. Crystal Palace missed two glorious counterattack opportunities following the equalizer.
Arsenal's draw has kept the title race alive but left them in a precarious position. They are now level on points (79) with Liverpool, but the Reds hold a superior goal difference and a game in hand. Liverpool can secure the title by earning at least a draw against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday at Anfield.
Champions League semi-finalist Arsenal have consistently frustrated Liverpool this season, following their 2-2 draw in a recent clash. Had the second-placed team lost against the FA Cup semi-finalist, Liverpool would have clinched the title. The Dutch manager, Arne Slot, expressed confidence that their fate lies in their own hands, as they look towards next week's match against Tottenham.
