Aaron Ramsey's cross is picked up by Alisson and Liverpool charge forward through Adam Lallana.

Varun: As an Arsenal fan, I am actually happy with this embarrassing result. It should make the club and manager realise the work they need to do. We were almost getting carried away with meaningless stats like 22 games unbeaten run.
Rezaa: Emery has to let go of these defenders. Build the team around home grown players like Holding. Mustafi, Koscielny and Sokratis are past their best years.

I'll let you all debate another controversial penalty appeal there...
Liverpool 5-1 Arsenal
Alexandre Lacazette weaves in and out of several challenges before he's eventually blocked off in the box. He goes to ground under apparent contact from Nathaniel Clyne and Arsenal players immediately appeal for a penalty.

Wijnaldum has had a terrific game today. He really has worked hard.
I wouldn't say he has come of age, because he does like to be part of this team and does like to be on the ball.
He’s become that leading light from midfield.

Kolo: Wow! Giorginio Wijnaldum. What a gem. Tactically the fulcrum of that midfield.
Fraser: Gini Wijnaldum is surely the most underrated player in the league. Never gets the plaudits but is a key cog in this Liverpool machine.
Paul: Gini Wijnaldum is having an absolute stormer in the middle of the park for LFC - another player who has come on leaps and bounds under Klopp

Arsenal have had a couple of chances, but nothing more than that.
You can see Liverpool perhaps pinching another one. Salah’s the type of player you can’t afford to give a chance to.

Shane: I'm a United fan so I will put my hands up & finally admit it, Liverpool.......they have a pretty okay team. There I said it
Hailu: As Man United fan, it is painful to admit it but this looks Liverpool's title to lose. Clinical & devastating football
Zach: As a United fan I hate Liverpool with every fibre of my being but even I can admit they are a serious outfit this season. Different class to Arsenal.

Adam Lallana is receiving instructions. He's getting ready to come on for Liverpool.

I was just watching Jurgen Klopp – he was asking why none of his players were getting in the box to get on the end of Robertson's cross.
There’s so much class in Liverpool’s team. They will score again if they keep this up.
Liverpool 5-1 Arsenal
Alex Iwobi drives down the left wing after Alexandre Lacazette is fortunate with a knock-on. Ainsley Maitland Niles comes sliding in at the near post as Iwobi drags it back but it's well saved by Alisson.
Liverpool immediately go up the other end but Xherdan Shaqiri's curling effort is comfortably saved by Bernd Leno.

Fabian: 2019 is our year, our year, our year, our year, Our Season. Bobby on the treble.

Alexandre Lacazette replaces Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. Can't help but feel if the pair had started together it could have been a different story.
