The English FA has officially reversed its decision regarding the goal in the Liverpool vs. Arsenal match. The goal, initially allowed, has now been ruled as offside, and Liverpool has been awarded three points for their efforts. In the end, Liverpool comes out on top.

The English FA has reversed its ruling on a disputed goal in the recent Liverpool vs. Arsenal Premier League match, resulting in a significant change to the final outcome.

Originally, the October 27 game at the Emirates ended in a 2-2 draw, but the FA’s review found that Arsenal’s second goal, scored by Mikel Merino, was offside. Consequently, the FA has awarded Liverpool a 2-1 victory and three points.

The reversal followed a detailed review that revealed Merino was just ahead of the last defender when he scored from Declan Rice’s delivery. Initially, the goal was allowed due to a lack of clear offside evidence in real-time, but post-match analysis using advanced video technology confirmed the infraction.

Liverpool’s standings improved significantly with the revised score, pushing them to the top of the Premier League, two points ahead of Manchester City. The decision has sparked mixed reactions, with Liverpool fans celebrating the change while Arsenal supporters express frustration over the ruling.

Arsenal, who initially thought they had secured a draw, now face a setback in their title pursuit, trailing leaders Liverpool by five points. The reversal has fueled debates over officiating consistency, with Liverpool’s coach Arne Slot stating, “Justice has been served,” while Arsenal’s Mikel Arteta hinted at dissatisfaction, calling for more consistency in officiating.

This unexpected development adds a new twist to the title race, giving Liverpool the edge while Arsenal must recover from the setback.
