United States Liverpool vs Arsenal LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction tonight
Liverpool must show 'fight' against Arsenal says Klopp
Imperious Liverpool extended their Premier League home winning streak against Arsenal to six on Saturday with an easy 4-0 victory that lifted them to second in the table.
Sadio Mane met a perfect free kick from Trent Alexander-Arnold in the 39th minute to plant a header across Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale for Liverpool’s opening goal.
Ramsdale produced a string of spectacular saves to keep Juergen Klopp’s silky strikers at bay. But he could do nothing to stop Diogo Jota skipping past him in the 52nd minute after a dreadful misplaced pass from Arsenal defender Nuno Tavares.
Inevitably, Mohamed Salah got in on the act with a close-range volley from a Mane cross in the 73rd minute, before Takumi Minamino came off the bench to turn in a cross from Alexander-Arnold with his first touch in the 77th.
Arsenal showed a few flashes of resistance and attacking spirit in the first half - not least from manager Mikel Arteta who squared up angrily with Klopp over a foul in an ugly touch-line exchange that earned both yellow cards.
But the Londoners looked crushed at the end, their eight-game unbeaten run over and yet again leaving Anfield empty-handed. The result left them fifth in the league.
- Liverpool XI: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Matip, van Dijk, Tsimikas; Oxlade-Chamberlain, Fabinho, Thiago; Salah, Mane, Jota
- Arsenal X: Ramsdale; Tomiyasu, Gabriel, White, Tavares; Partey, Lokonga; Saka, Smith Rowe, Lacazette; Aubameyang
- 35’ - SAVE! Ramsdale with some class to deny Salah, then react quickly to smother any chance of a rebound, 0-0 still
- 39’ - GOAL! Mane with a bullet header from close range that Ramsdale cannot keep out, 1-0
- 52’ - GOAL! Jota with a calm head to dribble around Ramsdale and slot home, 2-0
- 73’ - GOAL! Salah makes the game safe and finally has his goal, wonderful combination between Jota and Mane in the build-up, 3-0
- 77’ - GOAL! Sublime. Gorgeous football from Mane, Salah and Alexander-Arnold, capped off by Minamino’s tap-in, 4-0

Liverpool returned to winning ways in emphatic fashion as they put Arsenal to the sword with a 4-0 victory which halted the Gunners’ 10-match unbeaten run.
Having seen their unbeaten start to the season ended at West Ham before the international break, Jurgen Klopp’s side responded in style with a comprehensive dismantling of their opponents, who had arrived looking to leapfrog their hosts into the top four.

Trent Alexander-Arnold was delighted about Liverpool’s performance especially the way they responded from the loss to West Ham before the international break. He described his teammates as ‘red blurs’ to the Arsenal players as they took the attack to the Gunners, scoring four goals in what ended up being an easy win. He told Sky Sports:
A team of our quality shouldn’t be losing games. The way the league is going, any loss is a bad loss. We have bounced back the best way we could. A very good performance.
“It was exactly what we needed - nothing more and nothing less. They came as two banks of four and were tough to break down but we scored our goals and put the game to bed. To see out the clean sheet is very good.
“First half we had that aggression but didn’t capitalise on it. The first 15-20 minutes of the second half were as good as we’ve pressed all season. We were all over them - they were just seeing red blurs all over the place. That second half was outstanding.
“It’s always good to contribute to the team. Scoring, creating goals is what my game is based on. I’m happy with that - I just need to keep up that form. All games are very important and hopefully I can keep that form up.
“I’m feeling good out there. I’m playing with freedom and finding myself in positions I haven’t previously. It’s going really nicely. These are the levels I expect of myself.”

90+3 mins: Liverpool move up to second place and back to within four points of league leaders Chelsea. there was a real sense that Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal had turned a corner and were ready to push for the top four but they’ve been humbled by Liverpool today. The Gunners started the match quite well even though Liverpool were a little slow and timid. Then Klopp’s men turned it up a gear and the cracks began to appear in the Arsenal backline.
Sadio Mane, Diogo Jota, Mo Salah and substitute Takumi Minamino all got on the scoresheet and Liverpool are back to winning ways.
