Manchester United will need to be “smart but nasty” if they are to fulfil their goals this season.

Erik ten Hag said he was disappointed with some of the decisions in the Manchester derby last week and questioned the yellow cards dished out.

“We have too many bookings and I don’t understand,” he said. “We want to play tough and we want to get the game going.

“Then, in the second minute we get a booking. It was a duel, it was a foul, but get booked? I saw many other bookings and thought, ‘is that necessary?’

“I have to take it to the players to look in the mirror. They have to play smart but they also have to play nasty as well.”

Steve: A thoroughly entertaining game. Arteta has built a very good and entertaining footballing team. They’re easy on the eye. Liverpool played their part but they’re just not firing on all cylinders. And Arsenal are.

Paul: Arsenal top of the league, but we have only played teams at the bottom!

Andy: The Man Utd game was an education for Arsenal. They've taken their chances today and shown, yet again, that they'll beat any team out in front of them. The match on the 20th is going to be the real test.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Raphael Varane broke off from their respective warm-ups to wander over an shake Paul Clement's hand.

Clement was part of Carlo Ancelotti's coaching team at Real Madrid between 2013 and 2015, when Ronaldo and Varane were both at the Bernabeu.

The trio shared in Real's 2014 Champions League triumph over Atletico Madrid.

Everton are now unbeaten in six top-flight matches (W2, D4), their best run since going seven without defeat between November and December 2017.

The Toffees can register three successive Premier League wins for the first time since March 2021 under Carlo Ancelotti.

They have the best defensive record in the division, conceding seven goals this season.

We are watching this group of young players grow before our eyes and this is massive for them. They're stepping over the hurdles. They're showing character week after week. Special things happen when you start to believe in each other. It's harmonious and everyone seems happy. It's led by Mikel Arteta's passion and his energy day in, day out. He's up and down that touchline, he lives and breathes every second of the football game.

I'm just thankful to be here, that's how football should be played in my eyes, it's why we tune into the Premier League.

Frank Lampard believes Everton are reaping the rewards of hard work on the training ground with their defensive excellence this season - but says there is still a long way to go.

Everton have conceded the fewest goals in the Premier League so far, a statistic that has been attributed to a new centre-back duo of experienced stalwarts James Tarkowski and Conor Coady.

"They are a hugely important partnership for us and are setting good standards here," said Lampard. "But you defend as a team and that's what we have worked on.

"Sometimes it takes time in training to work on stuff and feel the benefits. What we do have is a great spirit and organisation. We've worked very hard in training to be solid and try to have a good base when we don't have the ball.

"Realistically, we know it may change. We know the Premier League is unforgiving but if we drop our standards then it will."

BBC Sport at Goodison Park

There was a period where Manchester United loved coming to Goodison Park.

Sir Alex Ferguson’s side lost here once in their first 12 visits after the English top flight was rebranded as the Premier League in 1992.

Those days are long gone.

United have won three times in their past 10 trips here in the league, including three and four-goal beatings.

Erik ten Hag’s side have already been four goals down by half-time twice in away games this season.

Usually that would be the Premier League finished for the day...

But while we didn't have a lunchtime game yesterday, we do have a nighttime game today...

You can hear the Arsenal faithful singing we are top of the league. This group of fans are starting to believe in this area of London. It's half past 6 in the capital and we have just witnessed a fantastic two hours of football.

This feels like a huge result for both teams.

Arsenal have passed a huge test in their bid to show they are contenders.

And Liverpool have failed yet another one. Two wins in eight games.

It's all over!

Arsenal go top of the Premier League - a whopping 14 points above 10th-placed Liverpool.

Jordan Henderson, shot blocked! Harvey Elliott, shot blocked!

Into an eighth minute.

Ibrahima Konate commits a foul and that might be that.

Arsenal fans cheer winning a throw-in like a goal. The fourth official guides Mikel Arteta back to his technical area.

Ben White kicks for touch basically and boots the ball out for a Liverpool throw-in near their own corner flag.

We're going to have extra extra time added on for sure.

Arsenal are really just trying to kill time here. Fabio Vieira, who was good in midweek, replaces two-goal hero Bukayo Saka.

The Arsenal fans love him. Jesus gets a standing ovation as he walks off. He hasn't scored but he has worn his heart on his sleeve. He has given everything for this club.
