Reds decimate listless Arsenal

 Liverpool delivered a clear statement of their attacking potency by crushing Arsenal 4-0 at Anfield on Sunday as Tottenham Hotspur’s Wembley worries continued in a 1-1 draw with Burnley.

Champions Chelsea picked up a second successive victory with a 2-0 win over Everton and unbeaten West Bromwich Albion drew 1-1 at home with Stoke City.

Liverpool went ahead in the 17th minute when full back Joe Gomez drifted in a cross from the right and unmarked Brazilian Roberto Firmino converted with a straightforward header.

Liverpool again broke with a flowing, passing move which ended with Sadio Mane cutting in from the left and driving a low shot into the far corner.

The contest was over in the 57th minute when the ever-dangerous Mohamed Salah stole the ball from a hesitant Hector Bellerin and burst from deep in his own half before slipping the ball home.

Egyptian winger Salah created the fourth with a cross from the left which was headed home by substitute Daniel Sturridge.

At Tottenham’s temporary home of Wembley, Dele Alli’s close-range effort shortly after halftime looked to have sealed victory for Tottenham Hotspurs.

But Burnley subsittute Chris Wood struck in stoppage time on his debut.

 Goals from Spaniards Cesc Fabregas and Alvaro Morata earned Antonio Conte’s side victory over a disappointing Everton.
