Firmino secures thrilling draw at Anfield as Gunners' title hopes take a hit

Arsenal's chances of winning the Premier League title suffered a blow on Sunday as Liverpool produced a brilliant comeback to snatch a 2-2 draw at Anfield on Sunday.

The North Londoners were heading for a first league victory at Liverpool since 2012, an eighth successive league win and a massive three points in their quest to win the league as they powered into a 2-0 lead.

But Liverpool turned up the heat in the second half as Roberto Firmino headed an 87th-minute equaliser.

Goals from Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Jesus appeared to have Arsenal cruising towards victory. But Mohamed Salah pulled one back before half-time to spark a Liverpool fightback.

Salah missed a second-half penalty before Firmino sealed a point for the Reds.

After the match, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta bemoaned the Gunners' lack of ruthlessness.

"We missed that ruthlessness to take the game," said Arteta. "The big lesson is we didn't play the way we did the first half.

"We didn't continue to play. We gave every ball away, allowed big spaces and big transition moments to the best team in the world in this."

What the law says

Micro-retirement is not a recognised concept or employment status under Federal Decree Law No. 33 of 2021 on the Regulation of Labour Relations (as amended) (UAE Labour Law). As such, it reflects a voluntary work-life balance practice, rather than a recognised legal employment category, according to Dilini Loku, senior associate for law firm Gateley Middle East.

“Some companies may offer formal sabbatical policies or career break programmes; however, beyond such arrangements, there is no automatic right or statutory entitlement to extended breaks,” she explains.

“Any leave taken beyond statutory entitlements, such as annual leave, is typically regarded as unpaid leave in accordance with Article 33 of the UAE Labour Law. While employees may legally take unpaid leave, such requests are subject to the employer’s discretion and require approval.”

If an employee resigns to pursue micro-retirement, the employment contract is terminated, and the employer is under no legal obligation to rehire the employee in the future unless specific contractual agreements are in place (such as return-to-work arrangements), which are generally uncommon, Ms Loku adds.
