Mikel Arteta has warned Liverpool that Arsenal are "not going to stop" fighting for the Premier League title after securing a late win against Leicester City, four days after Arne Slot's side dropped points to Everton.

The Gunners closed the gap on Liverpool to just four points thanks to Mikel Merino's double off the bench while operating as a makeshift forward in the absence of injured duo Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus.

The impressive win, without any recognised strikers taking the field, arrived in the same week that Everton's James Tarkowski netted a dramatic 98th-minute equaliser at Goodison Park to hold Liverpool to a 2-2 draw.
