#3 Arsenal 3-4 Liverpool (2016-17)

The most recent entry on this list is up there in terms of entertainment. As Liverpool traveled to the Emirates, the Gunners fielded a depleted backline, with Rob Holding and Calum Chambers as the centre-back pairing.

This, combined with the uber-attacking philosophy embodied by Jurgen Klopp's teams meant that it promised to be a mouthwatering encounter. Boy, did it live up to expectations!

Theo Walcott opened the scoring, giving Arsenal the lead just moments after he had missed a penalty.

Liverpool's response was deadly. Phillipe Coutinho equalised at the brink of half-time, always an excellent time to score and Liverpool proceeded to take the lead through Adam Lallana.

Coutinho added a second to his tally before Mane made it 4-1 in what can only be described as a Liverpool blitzkrieg as Arsenal struggled to hold onto the ball.

However, in a remarkable show of resilience, Alex-Oxlade Chamberlain scored a terrific individual effort, within a minute of Mane scoring and Calum Chambers made it 3-4 with 15 minutes to play. Chamber's header set up a cracking finale, but Liverpool held on for a famous win.
