Arsenal: Peter Drury's spine-tingling commentary to Saka's winner vs Liverpool

Bukayo Saka showed nerves of steel to secure Arsenal’s biggest win of the Premier League season so far on Sunday afternoon.

The Gunners confirmed their status as legitimate title contenders this year as they wrapped up three points over a fellow ‘top six’ club at the Emirates Stadium for the second weekend running.

However, Arsenal had to dig deep in front of their own fans to ensure that Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool met the same fate as Tottenham Hotspur just a few days before them.

And that’s despite the fact that Mikel Arteta’s side burst into the lead after just 58 seconds when Gabriel Martinelli showed fantastic composure to finish past compatriot Alisson Becker.

Nevertheless, the magnitude of the task that lay before Arsenal quickly became clear when the Reds drew level courtesy of Darwin Nunez sliding home to convert Luis Diaz’s dangerous cross.

And just as Saka restored Arsenal’s lead with a close-range finish right before half-time, Roberto Firmino came back to haunt the north London club yet again with a clinical second-half equaliser.

In fact, it wasn’t until Arsenal won a decisive penalty under controversial circumstances that the ever-changing picture of a bona fide Premier League thriller became clearer to everyone watching.

That’s because Saka was presented with the opportunity to put Arsenal 3-2 up with less than 15 minutes to play, sending them back to the top of the table over Manchester City in the process.

Now, at the expense of stating the obvious here, we all know what happens next, but the chances are that you haven’t experienced what happened next to its full potential.

Why? Well, because you probably haven’t watched the moment that Saka downed Liverpool and lifted Arsenal to the Premier League summit
