Goals from Sadio Mane, Diogo Jota, Takumi Minamino and talisman Mohammed Salah were enough to see off Arsenal, who succumbed to a crushing defeat despite making a positive star to the game.

Match summary

It took 39 minutes for Jurgen Klopp's men to get their noses in front as a wonderfully curled free-kick from Trent Alexander-Arnold as Sadio Mane headed the home to make it 1-0.

There was an outpouring of emotions between Mikel Arteta and Klopp on the touchline as the referee cautioned both managers with yellow cards.

Liverpool continued from where they left off after the interval as Diogo Jota capitalized on Nuno Tavares' error as he beat Ben White and dribbled past Aaron Ramsdale to score the second.

It was 3-0 to Liverpool in the 73rd minute from a classic counter-attack as Mane turned provider for Mohamed to score into an empty net.

Within a minute after Takumi Minamino came on for Jota in the 74th minute he was at the end of Alexander-Arnold's low cross to make it 4-0.

The Reds move back to second on the Premier League table behind Chelsea as the Gunners maintain fifth spot.
