Liverpool continued the 100% start to their Premier League defence with an impressive victory over Arsenal on Monday night.
Goals from Sadio Mane, Andy Robertson and new boy Diogo Jota wiped out Alexandre Lacazette's early opener as the Reds eased to a 3-1 home triumph.
The result means Jurgen Klopp’s side have now gone 61 home league games unbeaten and are only two short of equalling the club record.
But there was plenty that went unnoticed or under the radar during the 90 minutes at Anfield...
Referee rumpus
Social media lit up after Liverpool's triumph - but not always for the right reasons.
Reds fans were rather irate when footage emerged of referee Craig Pawson seemingly disgusted at Lacazette being denied by Alisson Becker during the second half.
The reality, though, is somewhat less conspiratorial, Pawson merely tracking the flight of the ball in the air as it was eventually cleared by the Liverpool defence.
That's not quite as interesting, though.
Advantage Pawson
The officials prompted fume among opposing fans who continue to believe Liverpool are being helped along the way by favourable VAR decisions, iffy refereeing choices and the juxtaposition of Jupiter and Mars in the constellation of Scorpius. Probably.
This ignores the facts and statistics that suggest the Reds have been more harshly treated than almost every other Premier League team when it comes to calls from Stockley Park.
Nobody, though, had issue with Pawson waving play on when Naby Keita was clothes-lined by David Luiz in the build-up to Mane's equaliser.
Pawson hasn't always been the best official. But this was an example of him getting it right.
Keita counter
Naby Keita's strong finish to last season put him in prime position to begin the season in midfield.

And a good showing against Arsenal further justified Jurgen Klopp's faith in the Guinean, not least with his high pressing and strong running on the ball.
Indeed, Keita has now made five consecutive top-flight starts for the first time in his Liverpool career.
The next challenge will be to complete the full 90 minutes in the Premier League - something he has done only once since April 2019.
Fabinho yelp
The lack of fans - despite signs outside Anfield ambitiously welcoming supporters back in the near future - continues to reveal what happens on the pitch.
And after the screams and profanities of recent matches, there was another noise emanating from the Anfield turf.
When Fabinho was left a little short by a Joe Gomez pass first half, an audible high-pitched yelp of alarm could be heard all the way back to the media area at the top of the Main Stand.
Whether the Brazilian or his team-mate, it highlighted the reaction by players is sometimes not too far removed from those watching back home.
