Arsenal 1-1 Liverpool: Alexander Lacazette superbly cancels out James Milner's opener


  • Arsenal come from behind to draw with Liverpool as Jurgen Klopp's men maintain unbeaten start to season
  • Sadio Mane thought he broke the deadlock in the first half but was called for offside as he tapped in a rebound
  • Arsenal's Alexander Lacazette then had his own effort ruled out for offside just before the half-time break 
  • James Milner scored his third goal of the season and 50th in the Premier League as he gave Liverpool the lead
  • Lacazette then got his goal when he fired Arsenal level with under 10 minutes remaining at the Emirates  
The English midfielder is congratulated by his Liverpool team-mates after giving them the lead at the Emirates
