IT WAS as much about calamities as class but Arsenal blew open Ars League the Premier title race and made it a three-horse affair.
They had the help of Alisson and Virgil van Dijk delivering an uncharacteristically shambolic showing for Liverpool.
But not that Mikel Arteta will care.
His team were worthy winners, even if the two goals which decided the game had come from shocking defending and goalkeeping.
Now the Gunners are two points off leaders Liverpool.
The hosts weren't lucky to get the victory as they more than deserved it with their performance but the goals which decided this match came about thanks to favourable decisions by the opposition.
You make your own luck, after all.
Arsenal could have been eight points behind the leaders if this result was reversed and the celebrations on the pitch and in the stands at the end were evidence of the significance of the win.
