    David "hands" Luiz is at it again, this time pulling back Mo Salah as he powers forward in pursuit of a hat-trick. The whistle goes and Luiz looks around a little nervously. Fortunately for the Arsenal defender the offside flag was up for Salah.

    Ash Williams: Emery thought buying David Luiz would solve their defensive issues. He’s cost them twice in 10 minutes.

    David: Another howler by Luiz. Arsenal would be better off playing with 10 men.

    What a goal. That is absolute magic. Another wonder goal. You don't see these types of players very often. That guy is someone very special. He did everything right. It really was a wonderful strike.

    What a goal!

    Mo Salah, just inside the Arsenal half, races onto a ball from the back, does David Luiz for pace before powering into the area and then placing a clinical finish into the back of the net.

    Liverpool are going for the jugular. Arsenal are continuing to defend well. As long as they keep doing that, they will be fine. This could still be anyone's game. Liverpool are showing very good quality in their side. They are pushing Arsenal back. They have good discipline. They are in such a form.

    Liverpool are playing with real confidence now whereas Arsenal look nervous. The visitors pass the ball nonchalantly around the back, despite Liverpool's forwards in close attendance and it is no surprise the Gunners ultimately lose possession before Mo Salah plants a header just over the bar from Andy Robertson's cross.

    Peter Malath: "Allow me to reintroduce myself, I am Daivd Luiz, here is your penalty, give me my yellow card."

    Madness from David Luiz - and that is where he can be a liability. He might as well have walked over to Arsenal manager Unai Emery and ripped up all his second half plans in front of him. Pathetic.

    Liverpool can sense a wounded animal now and they are on the hunt for more goals. They play some lovely one-touch football on the edge of the Arsenal area before Mo Salah shoots but his effort is blocked.

    I thought he was pulled back. It was a lovely move to put Salah in. He would have been on goal but he was pulled back. That was a clear penalty from here. The referee was only five yards away. Had to be a penalty.

    Yule: Pepe will make a solid partnership with Laca once he settles in the EPL.

    Phill Burns: Pepe will cause issues 2nd half. Arsenal to win from behind.

    Shan: If Pepe improves his finishing, he can be our new Henry; otherwise he will be another Gervinho.
