Overview
- Arsenal and Liverpool drew 0-0 at the Emirates, leaving Arsenal’s lead at the top at six points rather than the eight they could have opened.
- Conor Bradley suffered an apparent knee injury in stoppage time, was taken off on a stretcher, and later left on crutches as the club waits for scan results.
- Gabriel Martinelli dropped the ball on Bradley and tried to push him off the pitch, triggering a confrontation and yellow cards for Martinelli and Ibrahima Konate.
- Roy Keane and Gary Neville condemned Martinelli’s conduct, and Virgil van Dijk said Liverpool players were right to confront the Arsenal winger.
- Mikel Arteta and Arne Slot suggested Martinelli misread the situation given late-game time-wasting concerns, and Martinelli apologized privately and publicly to Bradley as both teams shift focus to FA Cup ties.
