Liverpool survived an incredible Arsenal fightback as Roberto Firmino rescued a thrilling 3-3 draw in a strong contender for the Premier League's game of the season on Friday.

Philippe Coutinho's first half opener and Mohamed Salah's strike after the interval appeared to have put Liverpool on course for an early Christmas present at the Emirates Stadium.

But Arsenal hit back in stunning style with three goals in five minutes from Alexis Sanchez, Granit Xhaka and Mesut Ozil.

There was one last plot twist as Firmino bagged Liverpool's equaliser to cap a breath-taking clash that was almost as memorable as the Reds' 4-3 victory over Arsenal in the corresponding fixture last season.

Fourth placed Liverpool remain one point above fifth placed Arsenal after a Christmas cracker that underlined the qualities and problems with two teams who harboured title ambitions in August, but now trail way behind runaway leaders Manchester City.

Liverpool are unbeaten in their last 10 league games, but boss Jurgen Klopp will be kicking himself after his team's defensive and goalkeeping flaws were exposed again.

Arsenal have now won just one of last five league matches and despite their spirited comeback, manager Arsene Wenger was left to rue age-old problems in his attacking game-plan. © AFP
