Zapping Our Mondial Winning Pass
This Arsenal has character! Traveling on the lawn of Anfield in the semi-final first leg of the League Cup, the Gunners knew the mission was going to be difficult. And it appeared almost impossible when Granit Xhakah received a red card after 24 minutes of play following an uncontrolled intervention on Diogo Jota. Reduced to 10, the Gunners would have, for more than an hour, to face 11 Reds pushed by a packed Anfield.
And oddly, after being abused at the start of the meeting, the band at Mikel Arteta was able to find a balance in numerical inferiority, even creating opportunities on counterattacks. Despite a very favorable possession of the ball, and a greater number of chances, Liverpool finally never managed to find the loophole in the opposing defense, to finally concede the draw 0-0. Everything will therefore be decided in the return match scheduled for next Thursday in London.
to summarize
Liverpool concede a draw at home against Arsenal in the League Cup semi-final first leg. The Gunners, however, played 10 for more than an hour. Granit Xhaka conceded a red card in the 24th minute of play.
