6. Coutinho’s Free Kick
While chorus of boos rang around the Emirates due to Arsenal’s horrible performance, Liverpool had the time of their lives. Under Jurgen Klopp’s management, Liverpool is finally starting look like the beasts they once were all those years ago. Here’s a fun story. Once upon a time, Liverpool was the most dominant club in English football. And then, they sucked.
While Arsenal had a poor game against Liverpool overall, our first half was half decent. After all, we were leading 1-0. All that changed right before the half time whistle. Liverpool won a free kick right on the edge of the Arsenal penalty box and Coutinho stepped up to take the shot. What a beautiful free kick it was from Coutinho, right into the top corner, equalizing for Liverpool. It was the kind of free kick that not many keepers, if any, would have saved. Brilliant stuff. Arsenal may have been the “better” side in the first half, but Liverpool were going in level.
