Liverpool Draw Arsenal Amid Trophy Mockery at Anfield

Liverpool celebrated their record-equalling 20th English title with a spirited 2-2 draw against Arsenal at Anfield, despite Arsenal's initial two-goal deficit. Arsenal mounted a strong second-half comeback with goals from Gabriel Martinelli and Mikel Merino, who was later sent off, but the Gunners held on for a valuable point. However, Liverpool fans used the occasion to mock Arsenal's continued trophy drought, unfurling banners and chants targeting manager Mikel Arteta and captain Martin Ødegaard, highlighting Arsenal's repeated near-misses and lack of silverware. Arteta's claim that Arsenal is the "best team in Europe" was met with derision from the home crowd, who sang taunts emphasizing Liverpool's superior trophy haul and Arsenal's runner-up status. Despite Arsenal finishing runners-up in the Premier League for the third consecutive season, their gap behind Liverpool and recent Champions League exit have frustrated supporters and intensified their rivals' ridicule. The match underscored Liverpool's dominance this season and Arsenal's ongoing struggle to convert potential into major titles.
