Liverpool sent a title warning to their rivals with an assured performance as they strolled to a 3-1 victory over Arsenal at Anfield.
Centre-back Joel Matip headed home the opener from Trent Alexander-Arnold's corner just four minutes before the interval.
Just two minutes after the restart, Mohamed Salah won a penalty after having his shirt tugged inside the area by David Luiz.
The 27-year-old stepped up and converted the penalty in emphatic fashion to give the Reds some breathing room with a two-goal cushion.
The Egyptian saved the best until last with a stunning solo goal to put the game to bed as Liverpool threatened to run riot against the hapless Gunners.
But the visitors continued to battle and got their reward late on when substitute Lucas Torreira powered home a late consolation.
Liverpool maintain their 100 per cent record and move three points clear of Unai Emery's side, who could drop to third in the table if Manchester City win their match against Bournemouth on Sunday.
