In a shocking night of football, Arsenal came from behind to beat Premier League champions Liverpool at the Emirates Stadium.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The result means that the Reds have dropped 8 points in the last five games and cannot now reach the coveted 100 point total.<\/p>\n

Here’s how the players rated at the Emirates Stadium:<\/p>\n

Arsenal<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Emiliano Martinez – 8 – <\/strong>Some solid interventions when called upon, including one massive stop from Mohamed Salah.<\/p>\n

Rob Holding – 8 – <\/strong>An impressive performance at the back, albeit occasionally he struggled with some of Man\u00e9’s movement.<\/p>\n

David Luiz – 8 – <\/strong>A colossus. No, seriously. An absolute colossus.<\/p>\n

Kieran Tierney – 8 – <\/strong>Several impressive last-ditch interventions to keep Liverpool, and particularly Mohamed Salah, at bay. Rarely in the right position to start with but always able to get back in time.<\/p>\n

Cedric – 7 – <\/strong>A committed performance on the right, generally outmatched by Robertson and Man\u00e9 and completely diced up for Liverpool’s goal, but was committed.<\/p>\n

Lucas Torreira – 5 – <\/strong>A subdued display from a player still clearly fighting his way back to fitness.<\/p>\n
