  1. HALF-TIME

    Arsenal 1-1 Liverpool

    So that's half-time - 45 minutes gone

    And it's Arsenal 1 Liverpool 1.

    No more poetry now, I promise.

  2. goal

    GOAL - Arsenal 1-1 Liverpool

    Philippe Coutinho

    If you did go early for your cuppa, you've missed a wonderful free-kick equaliser from Philippe Coutinho. The Liverpool playmaker was held by Rob Holding, and responded by floating a 25-yarder over the wall and into the corner. Sweet for Jurgen Klopp.

  3. INJURY TIME

    Arsenal 1-0 Liverpool

    Two minutes to add before the half-time brew... Unless you're one of those who goes early to beat the queues.

  4. Arsenal 1-0 Liverpool

    Arsenal forward Alexis Sanchez sees his 25-yard free-kick deflected for a corner after a foul by Jordan Henderson. Theo Walcott's corner is floated high to the far side of the penalty area, from where the rising Calum Chambers heads wide.

  5. Spot of bother

    Arsenal 1-0 Liverpool

    This stat just in from Opta following Theo Walcott's earlier penalty miss: Arsenal have missed two of their last three penalties (also Cazorla v West Brom) in the Premier League after having scored 28 of the 29 they'd taken before this run.

  6. Arsenal 1-0 Liverpool

    Liverpool are still attacking with a degree of promise as the first half draws to a close. Roberto Firmino cuts back from the left for Georginio Wijnaldum arriving late on the edge of the penalty area, but the shot is driven straight at Petr Cech.

  7. Get Involved

    #bbcfootball

    It would be fair to say there has been a lot of reaction to Moreno's performance so far....

    I am reminded here of the football phone-ins on BBC Radio Manchester in the mid-to-late 1990s, when irate Manchester City supporters would regularly ring in after yet another demoralising defeat, insisting that they could play better than whichever hapless XI had been put out that week. Jimmy Wagg, the presenter, always had a job trying to calm them down...

    England manager Sam Allardyce is among the crowd at the Emirates Stadium this afternoon. It's been a good weekend for manufacturers of sunglasses, judging by the photo...

  9. Moreno to blame?

    #bbcfootball

    Doug McMahon: Moreno not fit to wear the shirt. LFC please invest in a competent left back 

    Chelsea Warrior: It happened last season, and it continues this season: Alberto Moreno cannot defend to save his life 

    lfcway: New season, new signings, but same old Moreno! Gives away Pen, mignolet saves him, then goes missing again!*sigh* #LFC#ARSLIV

  10. Arsenal 1-0 Liverpool

    Roberto Firmino tried to respond immediately for Liverpool with a shot that rolls across goal and wide. Meanwhile, the criticism of Moreno continues to flood in.

  11. 'I'm stunned by Moreno's positioning'

    Arsenal 1-0 Liverpool

    Phil Neville
    Former Manchester United defender at the Emirates Stadium for BBC Radio 5 live

    It was horrendous full-back play from Moreno. You are supposed to be tucking in but he left Walcott in acres of space. I'm astounded by his position. He was about 15 yards in front of Walcott.

  12. Arsenal 1-0 Liverpool

    Alberto Moreno: If you pop in later and find yourself having a scroll through this text commentary, I'd skip this bit.

  13. goal

    GOAL - Arsenal 1-0 Liverpool

    Theo Walcott

    Liverpool's reprieve, officially, lasted for 68 seconds. Francis Coquelin wins the ball from Adam Lallana, and Alex Iwobi finds space to play a lovely ball through for Theo Walcott down the right. Alberto Moreno is nowhere to be seen, and the Arsenal man slots a shot across Simon Mignolet and into the far corner. Great response from Walcott, but Liverpool's defending was horrendous.

  14. 'Wild from Moreno'

    Arsenal 0-0 Liverpool

    Phil Neville
    Former Manchester United defender at the Emirates Stadium for BBC Radio 5 live

    He touched the ball first but there was no need to go to ground. It was wild from Moreno.

    That was brilliant save from Mignolet for the penalty though. Walcott almost telegraphed the shot. It was brilliant spring from Mignolet.

  15. GREAT SAVE!

    Arsenal 0-0 Liverpool

    Not the greatest penalty from Walcott in truth, but Simon Mignolet gets across to his right and saves well. Moreno is a lucky, lucky man.

  16. PENALTY TO ARSENAL

    Arsenal 0-0 Liverpool

    Alberto Moreno, an absolute accident waiting to happen, has his accident. He slides in recklessly on Theo Walcott, and the referee gives a penalty. Walcott to take...

    Have to take your word on that one Rob - not exactly bursting with Arsenal shirts. 

  18. 'It was a reckless challenge'

    Arsenal 0-0 Liverpool

    Phil Neville
    Former Manchester United defender at the Emirates Stadium for BBC Radio 5 live

    Adam Lallana won the ball, but it's the way he slid in slightly recklessly on Aaron Ramsey.

  19. YELLOW CARD

    Arsenal 0-0 Liverpool

    No argument here. Liverpool midfielder Adam Lallana goes in late on Aaron Ramsey about 15 years inside Arsenal's half, and is the first man booked. Mistimed rather than malicious from Lallana, but a definite yellow.

  20. Arsenal 0-0 Liverpool

    Adam Lallana plays a pass right to Roberto Firmino, whose driven cross-shot is deflected away by Calum Chambers. Arsenal then concede a free-kick, and have to do a fair bit of defending to clear it. So far, though, their mix-and-match back line is holding up well
