London is red, Liverpool embarrassed Arsenal at Emirates Stadium, winning despite seven absentees

Luis Díaz was the main protagonist of the victory in London, which also meant the qualification of the Liverpool to the next round of the FA Cup. The Colombian, who to the surprise of many does not appear among the most expensive players of 2023, scored the 2-0 for his team against Arsenal, in the final minute of the match, after a couple of clear chances he had in front of goal.

The Reds, who had Alexis Mac Allister in the starting line-up, won 2-0 in London to advance to the last 16 of the oldest tournament in the history of football. It was a very difficult match, with little excitement but in the second half it was decided in favour of Jurgen Klopp's team thanks to a great game from Luis Diaz, who is back.

The goals fell until the final stretch of the game as in the 80th minute it was an own goal by an Arsenal defender after a great cross from captain Trent Alexander Arnold who took a free kick and the Dutchman Kiwior headed the ball into his own net. Then in the last play of the game Luis Diaz came on to receive a great assist inside the box and fired in a powerful right-footed shot to make it 2-0.

Humiliation

This was undoubtedly one of the most humiliating defeats for Arsenal against Liverpool as the Reds had a host of absentees including Egyptian star Mohamed Salah who is in Africa with his national team ahead of the Africa Cup of Nations. In addition there were seven other absentees including Endo, Szoboszlai, Van Dijk and Robertson.

Samuel en X: "No Salah No Van Dijk No Endo No Szoboszlai No Robertson No Tsimikas No Matip No Thiago No Bajcetic No Problem. All you need is a Trent delivery, Diaz finish, and a defensive masterclass against Arsenal. Proud of this team." / X (twitter.com)
