🎥 The greatest ever Arsenal v Liverpool games | OneFootball

Goals, comebacks and red cards will be the order of the day when Liverpool face Arsenal on Saturday.

This fixture has produced 44 goals in the last ten games, 16 last minute goals and 12 dismissals since 2000.

We charted the five best games between the two sides, so you didn’t have to!

1989: Liverpool 0-2 Arsenal

The objective was clear. Win 2-0 at Anfield – against the reigning champions – and Arsenal would win the league.

Liverpool were giants of English football but after Alan Smith scored early in the second half, hope was restored.

When all looked lost, midfielder Michael Thomas found himself through in the dying seconds and dinked the ball past Reds ‘keeper Bruce Grobbelaar to grab the vital second goal.

The only moment to ever rival ‘Agüeroooooooo’ – Arsenal ended their 18-year title drought in the most dramatic fashion.

2004: Arsenal 4-2 Liverpool

Still unbeaten in the league, Arsenal were knocked out of Europe and the FA Cup in less than seven days and were desperately seeking a result at Highbury.

So when Liverpool went in at half-time with a 2-1 lead, you could feel the tension in the stands and the dressing room.

But then Thierry Henry happened. The Frenchman netted twice to complete an incredible hat-trick, keeping a historic title charge on track.

The goal to make it 3-2 is worth watching just for the way Henry leaves Didi Hamann and Jamie Carragher for dust.

2009: Liverpool 4-4 Arsenal

With six games to go of the 2008/09 Premier League season, Liverpool were hot on the heels of leaders Manchester United.

Anything less than a win would dent their title hopes. Such circumstances gave us one of the most memorable matches ever.

Incredibly, only one goal was scored in the first half before Andrey Arshavin ran riot in the second, becoming the only ever away player to bag four at Anfield.

Even a Fernando Torres in peak form couldn’t salvage a result and Sir Alex Ferguson’s United would go on to win the title.

2014: Liverpool 5-1 Arsenal

Liverpool – aided by Suárez, Sturridge and Sterling – were at the peak of their powers in 2014 and Arsenal found out first hand.

The Gunners lead the league for most of the season but were picked apart with ease, surrendering a 4-0 deficit at half time.

Arsenal tightened up (somewhat) in the second half, but only after Sterling had added another to make it five after 52 minutes.

Rodgers said: “This was the best we’ve played since I arrived at the club”, but there was to be no title for the first time since 1990.

2017: Arsenal 3-3 Liverpool

Towards the end of his reign, Arsenal were struggling under Arsène Wenger. On the flip side, Liverpool were loving life under Jürgen Klopp.

With the Reds racing into a two-goal lead on a chilly December evening, Arsenal produced an incredible comeback to fight for their manager.

Three goals in five minutes from Alexis, Granit Xhaka and Mesut Özil stunned the visitors, only for Roberto Firmino to equalise shortly after.

This was a breathless 90 minutes and one we’ve come to expect when these two teams face off.
