Impressive Liverpool Thrash Arsenal 3-1 At Anfield

After match day three in the English Premier League (EPL) on Saturday, Liverpool currently sit comfortably on top of the log after a 3-1 defeat of Arsenal at Anfield.

Determined to maintain their flying start to the season, Liverpool are still keeping their perfect 100 per cent record in the new league season.

With this weekend results, the Gunners, the only other side in the top flight to win their first two games, had opportunities to shock Liverpool in a tight first half, especially when record £72m signing Nicolas Pepe shot straight at keeper Adrian after running clear.

Liverpool took control when Joel Matip put them ahead with a powerful header from Trent Alexander-Arnold’s corner four minutes before the interval.

Manager Unai Emery’s hope of seeing his side recover were snuffed out in the 49th minute after a moment of madness from new signing David Luiz, who needlessly dragged Mohamed Salah back in the area.

Liverpool’s Egyptian attacker drilled home the penalty and then embarrassed Luiz again out on the touchline at the start of a dazzling run that ended with a low, curling finish into the bottom corner just before the hour.

However, late in the encounter, Arsenal substitute Lucas Torreira pulled one back for Arsenal, nothing was getting in the way of Liverpool’s 12th successive Premier League victory, equalling their best sequence in the top flight under Kenny Dalglish between April and October 1990. – With agency reports
