Six minutes in, Darwin Nunez scored his first Premier League goal in nearly two months, giving his team the ideal start.<\/p>\n<p>But following VAR tests, the goals by Harvey Elliott and Cody Gakpo were disqualified.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI love Diogo Jota but he missed chances in the past as well. He had some fortune like that. It\u2019s the nature of the thing that we always ask for, always the players who are not involved and then all of a sudden they think they can change the world. Diogo is an incredibly important player for us. Having him changed the whole dynamic, that\u2019s true, but before in his life he missed some chances,\u201d Klopp said after the match.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe goal he scored today is the goal of a boy full of conviction. Good technique, obviously, but full of conviction because he had no chance to create any kind of doubt in the last few weeks because he was in rehab. That\u2019s why the goal for Darwin was as important. Cody scored again, Harvey scored an incredible goal, they just took them away and it\u2019s really, really tough, but how I said, we won the game and it\u2019s all fine.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bolnews.com\/international\/2023\/10\/liverpool-monitoring-ongoing-situation-with-luis-diazs-family\/\">Liverpool<\/a> moved up to the lead with 42 points from 19 games, surpassing Arsenal. Prior to their London derby against West Ham United on Thursday, Arsenal leads 40.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, 42 points, that\u2019s really pleasing, to be honest. That\u2019s really cool because the first part of the season [is] done and it was absolutely alright what we did. Not perfect but it was alright. And if I\u2019m right, we cannot be more than a point away from the top of the table, if Arsenal win. That\u2019s obviously in punching distance, let me say it like that,\u201d Klopp said.<\/p>\n<div class=\"alsoread\">\n<h4 class=\"text-uppercase mb-10 mt-20 fs-18\">Also Read<\/h4>\n<div class=\"post-box sty22\">\n<div class=\"post-frame js-ratioHtP\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bolnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/FotoJet-4-19-254x144.jpg\" alt=\"Gabriel\u2019s Header Seals Arsenal\u2019s Lead Against Liverpool\"\/><\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<h5 class=\"title\">Gabriel\u2019s Header Seals Arsenal\u2019s Lead Against Liverpool<\/h5>\n<p>Gabriel&#8217;s header seals Arsenal&#8217;s win at Anfield.
