Liverpool heaped more away-day Premier League misery on Arsenal with a swaggering 4-0 victory on Super Sunday.
Jurgen Klopp's front three of Roberto Firmino (11), Sadio Mane (42) and Mohamed Salah (57) all found the net, as did substitute Daniel Sturridge (77) as the Reds showed no ill-effects of missing Philippe Coutinho, who continues to be linked with Barcelona.
The Gunners are now winless in their last 13 league away games against last season's top six teams while - in contrast - the vibrant Reds are unbeaten in their last 11 league matches versus the same clubs.
Despite hefty speculation about the futures of Alexis Sanchez and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Arsene Wenger, who was subject of chants to be sacked from the away end, started both, while new signing Alexandre Lacazette was left out.
But it was a humbling afternoon for all concerned at Arsenal, who failed to register a shot on target during the 90 minutes.
There have been 38 goals scored in the last nine Premier League fixtures (an average of 4.2 goals per game) between these two and Liverpool took just 17 minutes to get rolling.
Man of the match - Mohamed Salah
A close call between the winger and Can, who set the platform with a monstrous performance in midfield. However, Salah's trickery, speed and creativity proved a constant thorn in the side of a sloppy Arsenal defence. He more than deserved his goal.
