    I've run out of words for this Arsenal side, 3-0 down and getting absiolutely battered.

    That came from Arsenal's corner! They left Bellerin all on his own at the back. It comes to him, a bad bounce and a bad touch, and Salah has the ball off him and runs from inside his own half.

    Liverpool flood forward, Salah could have squared it to Firmino but goes it alone.

    Arsenal? Woeful. Liverpool? Devastating.

    Mohamed Salah

    Liverpool

    Shambolic stuff from Arsenal.

    I mean, this is absolutely embarrassing from Arsene Wenger's side, they concede from an ATTACKING corner.

    The ball drops to Hector Bellerin who is 20 yards inside the opposition half.

    Mohamed Salah nicks it off him and has a clear run on goal and slots a cool finish past Petr Cech.

    I cannot believe what I am seeing. Arsenal left ZERO men back from a corner. Unbelievable.

    It's never a dull moment when Robbie's sitting alongside us in the gantry at Anfield.

    John Murray has described Liverpool's first half performance as 'joyous' whilst Robbie Savage says Arsenal have been 'pathetic' and 'bereft.'

    Liverpool 2-0 Arsenal

    Mohamed Salah to put the game to bed...

    ...no, shooting straight at Petr Cech after dispossessing Nacho Monreal on half way.

    The ball falls loose to Jordan Henderson in the box, but a shocking miss by the Liverpool skipper, shanking into the Kop.

    Will Liverpool be punished for all these missed chances?

    Liverpool 2-0 Arsenal

    Phil McNulty
    BBC Sport chief football writer at Anfield

    Arsenal's best hope has come from the uncertainty of Liverpool goalkeeper Loris Karius with the ball at his feet. He has been caught twice in possession in his own area by Danny Welbeck but has got lucky twice.

    The young German's struggles are being reflected in the buzz of anxiety that sweeps around Anfield every time he is in that situation.

    Mohamed Salah whips it in delightfully, Emre Can flicks it on but takes it off the foot of Dejan Lovren at the back post.

    Had he left it, the centre-back would have had a tap in.

    Liverpool have a set-piece in a presentable position on the left.

    Sean Dyche will be kicking himself, because he was considering tactical changes.

    Sometimes a game of this type needs a scruffy goal for a team to get themselves in front. Alli wasn't going to miss the follow-up, four yards out and it was coolly stroked into the corner. Finally Spurs get the breakthrough.

    It's possible now that Tottenham can start to really enjoy themselves...

    Scrambled in.

    Awful defending by Ben Mee, falling over while trying to clear a corner.

    The ball breaks free for Dele Alli to stroke home from eight yards out.

    Relief for Spurs.

    Coquelin on for Ramsey? That's a very defensive move for me. Is that the Arsenal manager making sure this doesn't get embarrassing?

    Liverpool 2-0 Arsenal

    Looks like the Arsenal players have had a good talking to by Arsene Wenger.

    Into the first minute in the second half and they have already posed more of a threat than in the whole of the first 45 minutes.

    Mesut Ozil cannot catch a shot properly and his low strike sails wide.

    Better.

    Plenty of glum and gloomy-looking faces in the away end at Anfield.

    Should be good fun.

  18. 'We need another striker'published at 16:58 British Summer Time 27 August 2017

    Chelsea 2-0 Everton

    Everton

    Everton boss Ronald Koeman to BBC Sport: "The quality of our opponent made it really tough. But I'm still disappointed at our first half. I was proud of how we fought until the end. We made a lot of mistakes in the first half. They were more aggessive.

    The game plan was to be compact, closing the gaps. We had too many spaces in the centre of the pitch between the midfield players and centre-backs.

    "If you have a few games in a short amount of time with a lot of travelling, it's hard to do with 11 players. We need a striker more to bring in. Sandro needs to adapt to the Premier League. Dominic Calvert-Lewin is only 20. You can't do a whole tough season with different competitions, you need one more striker."

    Chelsea boss Antonio Conte to BBC Match of the Day: "We must be pleased with the performance. We played a really good game. We dominated and had plenty of chances.

    "The only negative thing is we should be more clinical. But there were a lot of positive things.

    "There are maybe four or five days to go before the close of the transfer market. I think the club is trying to work very hard to improve the squad. I need to rotate my players - for that I need a good number of players. I'm sure the club are trying to do their best."

    West Brom 1-1 Stoke

    West Bromwich Albion

    West Brom boss Tony Pulis said: "I think we had the best chances. You look at the money that Stoke have invested and they are a good side. We wanted Kurt Zouma but couldn't afford that loan fee.

    "That's eight or nine games I have managed against Stoke and I am unbeaten. The game here we were the better team. It's been a great start to the season."

    Pulis on deals before the transfer window added: "The chairman has just come in and we are hoping we can bring the players in we need. We have specific areas, and specific players."
