Anfield was a litmus test for Arteta & Co. It was a ground where they had failed to win since 2012. Therefore, the match against Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool was a stern assessment of Arsena’s credentials to be a title-winning team. However, yesterday’s match proved that Arsenal are the real deal despite the 1-1 scoreline. They pushed the home side to the max and even dominated at times. The display was lauded by Arsenal fans and Piers Morgan in particular. The Broadcaster even had some interesting comments for the home side.

Arsenal took the lead through a brilliant header by Gabriel Magalhães which was cancelled by Mohamed Salah. However, even after Liverpool switched up the gears, Arsenal showed the mentality to keep fighting amidst the hostile atmosphere. A huge difference from the Arsenal sides of old.

Did Piers Morgan take a subtle dig at Jurgen Klopp’s side?

The English broadcaster is one of the most vocal Arsenal fans out there. It seems Morgan enjoyed yesterday’s game and one moment in particular that highlighted Arsenal’s defensive strength. He put out a tweet on X with the caption, “We only needed one man against the marauding Liverpool hordes… and that man was Declan Rice.” Is this a dig at Jurgen Klopp’s attackers or a praise for the $131 million midfielder?

The context was that Arsenal were in a 2 v 5 defensive transition against LFC. It looked like a certain goal and was arguably Liverpool’s best chance on the night. Enter Declan Rice. The Englishman showed great positioning and awareness and this put off Alexander Arnold, whose shot hit the crossbar. In a game of the finest margins, Rice was the difference between a defeat and a draw for Arteta’s men.
