Arsenal regained the top spot just before Christmas, but their quest for a victory at Anfield extends into a 12th year following an enthralling 1-1 draw, maintaining Liverpool’s position in the title race.
Gabriel’s initial goal was nullified by a stunning strike from Mohamed Salah.
Despite their efforts to secure a win, both teams in the Premier League’s top two had to settle for a well-deserved point each.
The Gunners made a strong start and secured the lead as defender Gabriel nodded in skipper Martin Odegaard’s free-kick within the opening four minutes.
However, Liverpool fought back vigorously. Despite a potential penalty claim being dismissed when Odegaard seemed to handle the ball, they equalized just before the half-hour mark. Mo Salah evaded Oleksandr Zinchenko and rifled a shot past David Raya at the near post.
The Reds return to action on Boxing Day away at Burnley and will go into the clash with the Clarets one point behind Arsenal.
