WATCH: Liverpool 4-0 Arsenal
Monday 28 August 2017 12:09, UK
Liverpool produced a devastating display of attacking football to claim a comprehensive 4-0 win over a ragged Arsenal side in the Premier League.
Goals from Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane in a dominant first-half display set up victory before Mohamed Salah and substitute Daniel Sturridge completed the Anfield rout.
The Gunners were swept aside with embarrassing ease and, were it not for several good saves from Petr Cech, their defeat could have been even more humiliating.
After overcoming injury, Alexis Sanchez featured for Arsenal for the first time this season but the Chilean made little impact and speculation over his future may again increase ahead of Thursday's transfer deadline.

Sanchez had been restored to the side at the expense of Alexandre Lacazette and Arsene Wenger's decision to bench his record signing is likely to be questioned.
