Liverpool fought back from a goal down to beat Arsenal 3-1 in their Premiership clash at Anfield this morning.

The Gunners had gone ahead through Alexandre Lacazette after 25 minutes, only for the home side to respond with goals from Sadio Mane and Andy Robertson...before Diogo Jota netted his debut goal for the Reds.

Clubs to vote on Covid-19 measures

Premiership clubs will vote later today on how to end the season if it cannot be completed due to the Covid-19 pandemic. 

Insiders say clubs are leaning towards voiding the season if between two-thirds to three-quarters of matches cannot be completed.

This comes as 10 people tested positive in the latest round of Covid-19 screening conducted for Premier League players and staff.
