The Gunners claimed their first victory at Anfield since September 2012 thanks to Kai Havertz's goal‚ with the win sending Mikel Arteta's side three points clear of Manchester City. But Reds supporters came away fuming after being denied a seeming stonewall penalty in the first half when Jurrien Timber tugged back Alexander Isak.
Jamie Carragher blasts 'embarrassing' Liverpool star after ‘awful mistake' cost Reds vs Arsenal - ‘got to stop'
LEWIS STEELE AT ANFIELD: Two goals in four first-half minutes put the game beyond reach for Fabian Hurzeler's admirable and exciting outfit as the Reds made it four wins in a row for Andoni Iraola‚ whose side are showing signs of cracking his complex style after a first month of fluctuating displays.
LEWIS STEELE AT ANFIELD: They used to call it 'Pep roulette' at Manchester City. A phrase coined by fantasy football nerds about Pep Guardiola's tendency to chop and change his front line every week to devastating effect. We haven't refined our snazzy phrase for Andoni Iraola yet - the working drafts are 'AI Bingo' or 'Iraola tombola' - but the Liverpool boss has a devastating depth of attacking talent that‚ if they all fulfil their potential‚ can lead this team to dizzying heights. That is caveated with a reminder that Iraola's Reds are simultaneously plagued by many teething problems in other areas and are far from complete. We will discuss that in due course but first‚ a word on Iraola's deck of cards that contains multiple aces and jokers.
The 30-year-old‚ who is still technically contracted to United but on loan at Turkish side Trabzonspor‚ was playing in his side's European game against Kuopion Palloseura of Finland. His side started well‚ with former Southampton forward Paul Onuachu putting them ahead in the third minute of the game as Thomas Reis' side looked to start the competition on a positive note. Then‚ in the 44th minute‚ Liverpool legend Mohamed Salah‚ who moved to Turkey in the summer after leaving the Reds‚ made it 2-0 with a fine finish to pick up his eighth goal of the season in ten games.
Paul Scholes reveals perfect transfer for Florian Wirtz as another Reds star told he is ‘not Liverpool standard'
Gerrard‚ who played for Liverpool for much of the period City are charged for‚ infamously failed to win the Premier League as a player - but things could have been different. His Reds side finished runners-up to City in the 2013-14 season when the former midfielder was captain‚ meaning the rulings affect him directly. A banner reading that Gerrard should be a top flight champion from that era was displayed at Anfield during Liverpool's game against City on Sunday.
For the second year in a row‚ the sensational talents of Jeremy Doku‚ Rayan Cherki and Erling Haaland were simply too much for the Reds to handle‚ in a short period that - regardless of being a man down - showed why Iraola's men are a little short of what they want to be.
Wirtz was one of the biggest movers in the Premier League last season but had a below-par season‚ with many giving him the benefit of the doubt considering it was his first season in the division. But he has continued to struggle this term too‚ and under a new manager‚ with the German yet to score and picking up just one assist in the six top flights matches so far this season. His performances have led to some questioning his place in the Liverpool team‚ and former Reds defender Carragher is now front and centre of that after Wirtz's showing against Manchester City on Sunday.
INTERVIEW BY LEWIS STEELE: Luis Garcia knows all about miracles‚ given he was part of Liverpool's Champions League-winning team in 2005 that were 3-0 down at half-time of the Istanbul final. So the ongoing miracle of Malaysia‚ as we shall call it‚ is no surprise to the former Reds and Barcelona winger‚ who is now chief executive of a record-breaking team trying to be the biggest in south-east Asia. Johor Darul Ta'zim‚ or JDT‚ are on a world-record run of 113 domestic matches - and counting - unbeaten‚ with Garcia at the helm alongside the local crown prince and former Watford manager Xisco Munoz.
Liverpool winger Bradley Barcola has been clocked as the fastest Premier League player in the top 20 speed rankings after five games. Barcola‚ 24‚ joined the Reds in August for £123million from Paris Saint-Germain‚ where not only did he win two Champions League titles‚ but he also had a reputation for being rather speedy. And in the latest top speed rankings on FotMob‚ he has been crowned king of the speedsters‚ clocking a rather rapid 22.3mph (35.9km/h) on the speed gun.
Former Liverpool striker Andy Carroll has opened up on how his high salary during his two years on Merseyside led to his life spiralling out of control. Carroll‚ 37‚ became the Reds' record signing when he joined for £35million in January 2011 from Newcastle‚ making 58 appearances and scoring 11 goals for the club across two seasons. The striker‚ who currently plays for Dagenham and Redbridge in the National League South - a club he co-owns with YouTuber KSI - has looked back on his troubling spell at Anfield in his new book‚ Owning It.
Harvey Elliott has been accused of being 'well overweight for his physique' by the Spanish press after enduring a difficult start to his loan spell at Valencia. Elliott‚ 23‚ joined the Spanish club on a season-long loan from Liverpool at the start of the month. The midfielder was handed a second chance at the Reds by new boss Andoni Iraola during pre-season‚ after a campaign of struggle on loan at Aston Villa last season. But the England U21 international star failed to impress the Spaniard‚ and he was quickly shipped over to Valencia as he sought game time.
Former Liverpool defender Andy Robertson has admitted that Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz struggled to settle in at Anfield last season because the squad 'didn't care about football' following the death of Diogo Jota. Jota was tragically killed in a car accident alongside his brother Andre Silva in northern Spain in July 2025. The 28-year-old had been on his way to report to Merseyside for pre-season training. In the same summer‚ Liverpool purchased both Isak and Wirtz for a combined £241million. However‚ both players struggled in what was a difficult season for the Reds‚ as they finished fifth in the Premier League.
The Real Madrid star came close to signing for the Reds as a teenager‚ with Klopp previously revealing secret meetings and Mbappe's mother pushing for him to move to Merseyside. But he instead signed for Paris Saint-Germain‚ and the rest is history. In a stunning admission earlier this year‚ Klopp‚ who was covering the World Cup quarter-final between France and Morocco for German television station Magenta TV‚ detailed live on air how Mbappe was almost a Liverpool player in 2016.
LEWIS STEELE AT VITALITY STADIUM: Andoni Iraola toasted to a happy homecoming - and then prepared to jet off on his holidays knowing his work-in-progress Liverpool side are heading in the right direction‚ slowly but surely. It would be wrong to say the Reds' victory at Iraola's old stomping ground Bournemouth was thoroughly deserved or even convincing but as the new boss takes stock over the international break‚ he will have more positives than negatives to evaluate. Match-winner Alexander Isak is finally showing the sharpness and attacking efficiency the Anfield top brass thought they were paying £125million for a year or so ago‚ while other new signings are settling and previous sub-par performers look back to their best.
THE ROAD TO MADRID: Man Utd‚ Arsenal and Liverpool name Champions League squads as Iraola snubs two senior Reds stars
MAC ATTACK! Liverpool star backs up contract demand with sumptuous winner as Reds come from behind to beat Atletico Madrid in Champions League
The big-spending superpowers of world football splashed the cash to record levels this summer‚ but who has the most expensive squad? Once known for their shrewd‚ under-the-radar dealings in the transfer market and eye for a bargain‚ Liverpool have changed their approach now‚ opting for the best players money can buy rather than filling out squad depth. And that's reflected in the CIES Football Observatory stats boffins' rankings‚ with the Reds in top spot.
Federico Chiesa's Liverpool career has taken another hit after he was omitted from their UEFA Champions League squad. The Reds have submitted their 25-man squad for Europe's elite club competition which begins on Tuesday. Liverpool begin their quest for an seventh European Cup when they face Atletico Madrid at Anfield on Wednesday night.
Jamie Carragher believes Liverpool boss Andoni Iraola needs to have an awkward conversation with his vice-captain Dominik Szoboszlai and move him to right-back permanently. Szoboszlai‚ 25‚ was rewarded with a new £350‚000-a-week contract this summer after being named Liverpool's Player of the Season for his impressive performances in midfield last campaign - one of the few positives in what was otherwise a disappointing season for the Reds under Arne Slot. Despite establishing himself as a mainstay in midfield‚ the Hungarian has also been called upon to deputise at right-back‚ doing so sporadically last season and again during the second half of Liverpool's 2-2 draw with Nottingham Forest on Saturday.
Gary Neville has accused Liverpool of leaving Andoni Iraola with an uncompetitive squad due to their 'bizarre' transfer dealings this summer. The pundit is flabbergasted to see the Reds potentially selling Cody Gakpo to rivals Manchester City for £85million.
‘Deal on' - Fabrizio Romano drops exciting Liverpool update as Reds make official contact ahead of deadline day
Liverpool are clear that they want two to sign two more forward players before they contemplate letting go of the Dutchman‚ who is contracted until 2030 after signing a long-term extension last year. The Reds are set to complete the £123million signing of Bradley Barcola from Paris Saint-Germain and his preferred position is on the left‚ where Gakpo often plays.
Jamie Carragher has urged Liverpool's summer signings from last year to do better or face being branded as the worst collection of transfers in Premier League history. The Reds spent £445million ahead of the 2025-26 campaign as they looked to defend their Premier League title won in 2024-25. Liverpool broke the Premier League record twice that summer - signing Florian Wirtz for £116m before then breaking that to sign Alexander Isak for £125m.
Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson has been the victim of Premier League rule-changes - as he has been named a vice-captain but is likely to never wear the armband. Rules that came into play last season stipulate only the team captain is permitted to approach the referee to discuss major decisions or flashpoints in the game. As it would not make sense for Reds shot-stopper Alisson to run the length of the pitch to debate‚ for example‚ a penalty shout‚ he is likely to never wear the armband.
Liverpool have confirmed the signing of Barcelona captain Ronald Araujo on a season-long loan with an option to buy. The 27-year-old defender flew to Merseyside on Sunday afternoon and has since completed his medical. The Reds have the option to purchase the Uruguay international at the end of the campaign for £47million.
LIVERPOOL 2-4 LEEDS - THINGS WE LEARNED: In the Reds' final game of this pre-season tour‚ early goals from young defender Luke Chambers and Florian Wirtz had Liverpool on their way to a perfect trip but‚ after both teams made half-time changes‚ Leeds vastly improved to triumph. At the home of NFL side Chicago Bears‚ two American football-style throw-ins undid Liverpool as Dominic Calvert-Lewin scored a brace. Joe Rodon and Sean Longstaff also bagged for Daniel Farke's side as Leeds bombarded the penalty area with set-pieces.
LEWIS STEELE IN CHICAGO: Van Dijk has begun work back in Liverpool but is not on the pre-season tour‚ while fellow centre back Jeremy Jacquet is yet to feature and Giovanni Leoni is still in rehabilitation from a cruciate ligament injury. Gomez limped off in the Reds' opening friendly in Nashville last week with a muscle injury but Iraola has given his backing to several kids who have 'surprised' him with their ability this fortnight.
The Reds are preparing their first offer for the Paris Saint-Germain winger‚ who is valued at £145million. They do not want to pay the French club's asking price and hope a deal can be done for a smaller figure.
