Liverpool knocked Arsenal out of the FA Cup with a 2-0 win, therefore ending their prospects of winning silverware this season.
Both clubs are vying for the Premier League title, but their fans were treated to domestic action this weekend.
Kiwior’s own goal aided Liverpool’s victory.
Arsenal arrived at the Emirates Stadium after two defeats, but they were the sharper team in the first half.
They had a flurry of chances in the first half but couldn’t convert them, with Kai Havertz in particular laboring up front.
Liverpool gradually gained control of the game and came dangerously close to taking the lead when Trent Alexander-Arnold rattled the crossbar.
Tensions between two of English football’s greatest clubs were on full display when Ben White fouled Curtis Jones after his skillful play.
The second half in north London was identical to the first, with both teams creating chances but failing to convert them.
The deadlock was finally broken ten minutes from time, and Liverpool advanced to the fourth round.
Alexander-Arnold whipped in a dangerous corner from the left, hit Arsenal defender Jakub Kiwior in the head, and went in.
Luis Diaz wheeled away in joy, but replays showed that the Gunners defender was the one who scored.
With a stunning triumph, Liverpool’s away end was propelled into ecstasy.
Diaz then put himself on the scoresheet late in stoppage time with a rocket into the top-right corner.
Arsenal, the FA Cup’s record 14-time victor, were then eliminated from the competition as Liverpool held on.
This is their third consecutive defeat in all competitions, and they exit the FA Cup a round earlier than last season.
Despite Arsenal’s several chances, Liverpool were perhaps the deserving winners and will now await Monday’s draw.
