PLAYER RATINGS: Diogo Jota was a menace and scored a superb goal but Nuno Tavares had a nightmare

Sadio Mane achieved a fantastic absolutely free kick from Trent Alexander-Arnold in the thirty ninth moment to plant a header throughout Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale for Liverpool’s opening objective.

Ramsdale generated a string of spectacular saves to keep Jurgen Klopp’s silky strikers at bay. But he could do nothing to quit Diogo Jota skipping earlier him in the 52nd moment immediately after a dreadful misplaced go from Arsenal defender Nuno Tavares.

Inevitably, Mohamed Salah got in on the act with a shut-assortment volley from a Mane cross in the 73rd moment, before Takumi Minamino came off the bench to convert in a cross from Alexander-Arnold with his very first contact in the 77th.
