End of 2nd Half
90+3'
FT: Liverpool 4-0 Arsenal. Firmino, Mane, Salah and Sturridge seal an emphatic victory that moves the Reds second. Arsenal were poor throughout and deservedly fell to a second defeat in just three league games. They sit 16th.
90+1'
Three minutes added. Arsenal would be happy to end now.
90'
This victory will move Liverpool up to second. Arsenal are way down in 16th. Early days but two sides in very different moods at present.
89'
Giroud meets Ozil's left-wing free kick but can't keep his header down.
88'
Karius has had some nervy moments and has pretty much been a spectator for long spells, but he does enough to punch clear a Gunners corner. Arsenal haven't done anywhere near enough to test him.
86'
ATTEMPTS ON TARGET: Liverpool 8-0 Arsenal.
