Bukayo Saka knows Arsenal failed to press home their advantage against Liverpool

Bukayo Saka said Arsenal failed to show their best selves in what he described as a disappointing 2-2 draw against Premier League title rivals Liverpool at the Emirates Stadium.

The England winger marked his return from a hamstring injury with a ninth-minute opener, only to be cancelled out by Virgil van Dijk’s header.

Mikel Merino restored Arsenal’s lead with two minutes of the opening period remaining to put the Gunners on course for a pivotal win in their quest to end a two-decade league title drought.

However, Mohamed Salah rescued a draw for Liverpool in the 81st minute to leave Mikel Arteta’s side trailing Manchester City by five points and Liverpool by four after nine matches.
