LIVE COMMENTARY
FT LIVERPOOL 3-1 ARSENAL
90' Four minutes added on.
85' GOAL! LIVERPOOL 3-1 ARSENAL (Lucas Torreira, 85')
79' Lacazette replaces Willock - that means we get a chance to see Aubameyang, Lacazette and Pepe in unison.
77' Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain replaces Sadio Mané
73' Firmino, who deserves a goal, takes Henderson's impressive pass in his stride but the left-sided cross is pretty disappointing. Leno gobbles it up and Arsenal will look to build an attack from the back.
69' Milner comes on for Wijnaldum.
63' Firmino manages to get the ball out of his feet but his shot is too close to Leno, who makes a comfortable stop. Liverpool are not settling for just three goals, it seems.
59' GOAL! LIVERPOOL 3-0 ARSENAL (Mohamed Salah, 59')
56' Liverpool are showing their quality. They are running all over Arsenal. Robertson gets down the left after a brilliant passing move. His cross finds Salah charging in at the back post but he can't force it home. Over the crossbar.
52' Aubameyang is played in behind but he stutters when put under pressure and is unable to get a clean shot away.
49' GOAL! LIVERPOOL 2-0 ARSENAL (Mohamed Salah pen, 49')
48' PENALTY TO LIVERPOOL!!
46' WE ARE BACK!
44' CLOSE! Liverpool are a confident beast again. Mane tickles one through to Salah who charges in on Leno.
41' GOAL! LIVERPOOL 1-0 ARSENAL (Matip, 41')
36' BIG CHANCE FOR PEPE! Arsenal clear Alexander-Arnold's corner and Pepe takes advantage of Henderson's hesitancy. He runs at Robertson and gets around the full-back, but his shot from the edge of the box is saved by Adrian.
32' CLOSE! Robertson stands off Pepe and Arsenal's record signing tries to bend it around him and into the top corner.
27' Aubameyang is playing as a left-back at the moment, trying to help out his defenders.
23' Liverpool Vs Arsenal is shaping up to be a great match, even if we have not been treated to a goal thus far.
21' Ceballos ends up playing a quite brain-dead ball across his own box, straight to Mane. The only surprise is that the forward doesn't tuck it away from 15 yards. Straight at Leno.
18' Pepe has become the first player to successfully dribble past Van Dijk in the Dutch defender's last 50 appearances in the Premier League, since Mikel Merino achieved it in March 2018 for Newcastle United.
15' Pepe is proving a handful - quite literally in this case - when Arsenal get the ball forward. He wins his duel with Robertson and gets a shot on target, but the whistle had already been blown for handball.
13' INCHES WIDE! The first big chance of the game falls Arsenal's way. Adrian races off his line, despite Van Dijk seemingly being in control of the situation, and his miscued clearance falls to Aubameyang.
7' Arsenal have barely managed to get the ball out of their own half in the opening 7 minutes.
5' Kick's has come in Arsenal's half so far. Liverpool have set up camp.
2' Liverpool are pressing high up the pitch right from the off - it will be interesting to see how Arsenal deal with that today.
1' HERE WE GO!
