And breathe.

24 hours after Newcastle and Manchester United put on one of the games of the season, Liverpool and Arsenal took to the Anfield pitch with a similarly scant concern for defence. Both sides attacked at will for a tremendous 45 minutes with a 2-2 scoreline shared at half-time. Liverpool started stronger, dominating in possession and were rewarded in the 10th minute when Roberto Firmino beat Petr Cech before the equaliser came four minutes later via Aaron Ramsey. The goal of the game came when Firmino got his second with a perfectly-placed long range strike but parity was restored on the 25 minute mark via the deft touch of Olivier Giroud. And the internet only bloody loved it. https://twitter.com/piersmorgan/status/687370240393613312 https://twitter.com/leeroykeegan/status/687370042703515649 https://twitter.com/philmcnulty/status/687367175691177985 https://twitter.com/RealMattLucas/status/687371176792883200 https://twitter.com/colmcooper13/status/687371617761112064 https://twitter.com/Djimi_Traore19/status/687369695909916672 https://twitter.com/piersmorgan/status/687370822500106241 https://twitter.com/jamosfoundation/status/687372316418781184 https://twitter.com/spike_osullivan/status/687370880725434368 https://twitter.com/StanCollymore/status/687370371855708160 https://twitter.com/RealRomfordPele/status/687370416160129026 https://twitter.com/AnthonyOgogo/status/687370774076878849 https://twitter.com/IAMFRIMPONG26/status/687370488495013888 https://twitter.com/WelBeast/status/687370011707621377
