Liverpool 5-1 Arsenal
Premier League 2018-19
Venue: Anfield
Kick-off time: 5.30pm
Roberto Firmino bagged a hat-trick as a series of defensive mistakes from Arsenal allowed Liverpool to storm to a 5-1 victory at Anfield.
The Gunners took the lead when Ainsley Maitland-Niles stabbed home on 11 minutes. However, Liverpool scored two quick-fire goals through Roberto Firmino, with just 90 seconds between the strikes, to take the lead.
Sadio Mane added a third just after the half-hour mark before Mohamed Salah won and converted a penalty in first-half stoppage time.
Firmino converted another penalty midway through the second half to confirm the rout and send Liverpool nine points clear at the top of the table.
