After the game, Sky Sports commented for the first time, thinking that Yang Yang's double score helped Liverpool reverse Arsenal twice.
"In the absence of the head coach and unstable performance of the back line, Yang Yang came forward at a critical moment and led Liverpool to reverse Arsenal 2-1 away with a wonderful score."
"It's not just three points, it's more important. This is the first time Yang Yang has scored twice in the Christmas season in the three years since joining the Premier League. From the performance of this game, his status Very brave. "
Sky Sports believes that this game against Arsenal scored twice, helping Yang Yang overcome another difficulty in his career.
"In the past two years, the Christmas and winter break schedules have always been Yang Yang ’s nightmares. Every year and winter, his performance has declined, and even once fell into a goal shortage for a long time. I am fully prepared. "
Sky TV commentator Andy Gray also said that Yang Yang looks out of the shadow of the Christmas Devil schedule.
"In this game, he scored twice to not only help Liverpool get a valuable three points, but also let people see his true superstar strength. Breaking this level, his overall self-confidence and strength will be It ’s a huge improvement. "

...
Yang Yang has received overwhelming praise, but Liverpool's performance is equally surprising.
The Times wrote a comment that Liverpool beat Arsenal and will become the No. 1 favourite in the Premier League this season.
"As we all know, the Premier League mini-circle is hailed as a big signal to win the championship. The reason why Chelsea is not optimistic about the outside world this season is that the Blues have a mess in the mini-circle."
"But so far this season, Liverpool have won all the other three semi-finals in the semi-finals, and they have performed very well. So far, they have scored 16 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss in 18 games. "
The Times believes that in the past season, Liverpool's performance in the small circle has been unsatisfactory. Even in the previous years of Benitez's coaching, Liverpool's performance in the strong dialogue was still not good enough.
But since Yang Yang joined, he has brought a stable goal to the team, greatly improved Liverpool's offense, and completely changed this situation. Liverpool have performed very well in the small loops of the last three seasons.
"After the results of the small loop, Liverpool's achievements in the league are also quite impressive. Once the league runner-up, a league champion, this season is also a popular league champion."
The Times believes that Liverpool's outstanding performance so far is inseparable from Yang Yang's outbreak, and looking at the entire European football, Liverpool's performance is also second to none.
"The only person who can fight against the Liverpool Chamber is Barcelona in La Liga."
"Guardiola's team has maintained an impressive record of four victories in the last four direct competitions with its competitors, keeping pace with Liverpool, and this La Liga giant is also leaping ahead in the La Liga league.
"Although the Serie A is said to be a unique show in Inter Milan, although the Nerazzurri scored a lot, but in the direct competition with competitors, it did not have the upper hand, and even lost to AC Milan."
The Times finally concluded that in today's European football, the only team with top strength is Barcelona and Liverpool, and these two teams will also become the biggest highlight of the UEFA Champions League this season.
...
After Liverpool played Arsenal, the draw of the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 tournament was also held at UEFA headquarters.
Liverpool came out as the first group. The potential opponents of the draw were the second seven teams except Atletico Madrid, but since Arsenal and Chelsea only got the second in the group, strictly speaking, there are only five potential opponents. .
Chelsea lost to Rome in the same group competition, Arsenal lost to Porto.
For the remaining five teams, Inter lost to Panathinaikos, finishing second in the group, Atletico Lisbon in the Portuguese Super League, Villarelle in La Liga, Lyon in Ligue 1 and Real Madrid in La Liga.
Liverpool are still more relaxed about the lottery, because no matter who they meet, the Reds are sure enough to win.
In the end, Liverpool won Real Madrid.
As soon as the lottery result was released, the whole Madrid fell into a wailing mood.
Everyone has no doubt about Liverpool's power, and now Real Madrid has drawn Liverpool, and the possibility of promotion from the top 16 is very small. If they stop at the top 16, Real Madrid will wipe the face.
This is the Galaxy Battleship has stopped in the Champions League sixteen years in a row, people nicknamed the Champions League sixteen.
Manchester United have drawn Inter Milan, Arsenal have drawn Rome and Chelsea have drawn Juventus.
The opponents encountered by the top four in the Premier League are not weak, and they have to show their true skills to advance.
However, with the current strength of the Premier League, as long as it plays steadily, it is not difficult to advance.
