    The final whistle is greeted by a few boos from the home fans,. but it is hard not to feel sorry for Arsenal given the circumstances in which they lost. Still, one point and no goals does not make good reading from the Gunners' first two league games.
    90+2'
    We're in the second of four minutes to be added on as an Arsenal corner is defended stoutly by Liverpool.
    90+1'
    That's two goals in as many games for Suarez this season, following his strike against Sunderland last week.

    Lansbury sends Adam flying with a late challenge and rightly goes into the referee's book.
    86'
    Arsenal are beginning to look tired now as Liverpool take full control of the closing stages. Meireles fires a shot high and wide.
    84'
    Jenkinson is hobbling around now. It appears he is suffering from cramp. A quick stretch and he's good to go again.
    83'
    Suarez feeds the ball out wide to Henderson and continues his run for the cross, but again Vermaelen is there to head clear.
    81'
    There are certainly shades of offside for the Liverpool goal when Suarez received Meireles's pass, but the linesman gave the visitors the benefit of the doubt on that one.

    Vermaelen does love to roma forward, and he does so here right through the cntre of the pitch and fires a 20-yard shot wide of the target! Worth a pop.
    75'
    Downing charges down the left and gets his shot away from a tight angle, but Szczesny is more than equal to it.
    74'
    Arsenal already under pressure after going a man down. Enrique slips a canny ball through for Suarez to try and sneak past Szczesny, but the keeper makes the close-range block.

    FRIMPONG SENT OFF! The Arsneal midifelder, making his first Premier League start for the club, receives a second yellow card for a high-footed tackle on Lucas which sends the Brazilian flying! Not unnecessary bookings for Frimpong, and Arsenal are down to 10 men!

    Arshavin wrestles the ball of Kelly inside the box and he squares for Van Persie. The Arsenal captain's low snapshot is deflected wide by Reina, who is absolutely furious with the referee for not giving Kelly a free-kick!
