FA Cup: Luis Diaz's Stoppage Time Goal Sees Liverpool Through To Fourth Round

 

Liverpool sealed an important 1-0 victory against Arsenal at Emirates Stadium to progress to the fourth round of the FA Cup. 

Arsenal set off the course of their own defeat with an own goal from Jakub Kiwior following Alexander-Arnold's cross from a free-kick. The Reds later on sealed the victory with a stoppage time goal from Luis Diaz from Diogo Jota's through ball following a fast break. 

Prior to the winning goal, Liverpool had wasted a glaring chance as Alexander-Arnold could not connect to Darwin Nunez's pass for a one-on-one with Aaron Ramsdale. 

The loss left Arsenal with their third defeat in all competition and the second time since 2021/22 season that they will be knocked out of the FA Cup in the third round. 

Quick Overview

Liverpool had a well-deserved victory that came off tedious efforts against offensive approach from Arsenal. Eventually, the better side went through to the fourth round and Luis Diaz's goal could not say lesser of the Reds as the better side. 

Arsenal had multiple chance that they wasted. For much of the time they had the better of the balls until later stages of the game.
