Reviews
Arsenal 0-2 Liverpool
The woes of Arsenal extend to another game, as they fail to defeat Liverpool for the second time this season. Arsenal were duly punished for their show of absolute wastefulness that saw them lose their third game in a row. Arsenal had a total of 18 attempts with nothing to show for it.
Two late goals from Liverpool gave them a hard-fought win at the Emirates Stadium. An Alexander Arnold freekick forced an own goal from Jakub Kiwior, while Luis Diaz extended the lead with a sublime finish to confirm Liverpool’s qualification to the next round.

Tottenham 1-0 Burnley
It was one of the few FA Cup games where Premier League sides clashed against each other. Without so much drama, it was a screamer from Pedro Porro that gave Tottenham the only goal of the game at White Hart Lane. The FA Cup journey ends for Vincent Kompany’s men, while a Son-less Tottenham progress to the 4th round.

Reviews
Torino 0-3 Napoli
After an unfortunate goalless draw against Monza at Naples, Napoli have failed again to bag their first win of the year. The defending champions look the exact opposite of the Giants they were a year ago, as they drop further below the table to 9th position.
Roma 1-1 Atalanta
Atalanta retained their league position, thanks to an early goal against Roma. Paulo Dybala’s penalty saw the host equalize shortly before heading into a goalless second half. Roma dropped to 8th position from 7th, with Lazio’s win pushing them above the Romans.
