LIVERPOOL RATINGS: Alisson Becker - 7. The Brazilian had a relatively quiet evening but kept his concentration to make good saves from Aubameyang and Partey. He was back to his best after his nightmare against West Ham. AFP
Trent Alexander-Arnold – 8. The 23-year-old set up the first and fourth goals and stretched Ramsdale with a shot. An excellent display at both ends of the pitch. Reuters
Joel Matip – 7. The centre-back glided through the game and was rarely worried. He took the opportunity to stride into the midfield to spark attacks. AFP
Virgil van Dijk – 7. The Dutchman produced a superb sliding challenge to deny Aubameyang in the box. It was the highlight of a commanding outing. AP Photo
Kostas Tsimikas – 7. The Greek filled in admirably for Robertson and clamped down on Saka. He worked hard and used the ball effectively. Reuters
Fabinho – 8. The Brazilian patrolled the midfield and set the tempo. His magnificent saving tackle on an Arsenal break stopped Aubameyang charging clear and underlined his importance to the team. AFP
Thiago Alcantara – 7. The 30-year-old showed off his clever passing and ensured that Arsenal were kept on the back foot. His effort at goal went straight at Ramsdale. He was taken off with six minutes to go to give Morton a runout. Getty Images
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain – 7. The 28-year-old relished the chance to play against his former club. He attacked with gusto and defended with purpose, making a fine sliding clearance in own box. Withdrawn for Henderson with 14 minutes left. Reuters
Mohamed Salah – 9. The Egyptian menaced the defence and his touch and intelligence were on a different level to his opponents. He earned his reward with the third goal. Getty Images
Diogo Jota – 7. The Portuguese loves playing against Arsenal. His goal brought his tally against the London club to five and the away side were relieved when he was replaced by Minamino in the 76th minute. AFP
Sadio Mane - 8. The Senegalese took the battle to Arsenal and made Tomiyasu's life a misery. He produced a classic striker’s header for the opener and set up Salah’s goal. AFP
SUB: Takumi Minamino – 7. If Arsenal expected any respite when Jota left the pitch in the 76th minute they were sorely disappointed. The Japanese arrived and made his mark by scoring with his first touch. AFP

SUB: Tyler Morton – 6. The 19-year-old was given a Premier League debut when he came on for Thiago and will always remember his six-minute cameo. AP
ARSENAL RATINGS: Aaron Ramsdale – 5. The 23-year-old seemed to be enjoying the game when Liverpool were shooting straight at him. Once the home side got their directions right, it wasn’t so much fun for the goalkeeper. Reuters
Takehiro Tomiyasu – 4. The Japanese was vulnerable to the press and got roughed up by Mane. He left White exposed for the third goal by getting caught upfield. Reuters
Ben White – 5. The 24-year-old has a tendency to dwell on the ball when attempting to pass out from the back. It almost cost him twice. He was dragged wide for the third goal and could not stop Mane’s advance. AFP
Gabriel – 4. The Brazilian’s positioning and body shape were suspect before the opening goal. He was frequently unsure of what was going on around him as Liverpool piled on the pressure in the second half. Reuters
Nuno Tavares – 3. The Portuguese played the sloppiest of passes to allow Jota to score. He was out of his depth against the raiding Salah. AFP
Bukayo Saka – 6. The 20-year-old started well and showed hints of danger but faded as Liverpool asserted their authority. Being the best player in the team was not much of a recommendation. AFP
Thomas Partey – 4. The Ghanaian struggled to get involved. He tested Alisson from distance but did not impose himself in the midfield. He was replaced by Elneny in the 84th minute. AFP
Albert Sambi Lokonga - 3. The Belgian was wasteful on the ball and did not apply much pressure on his opponents. He was taken off eight minutes into the second half for Maitland-Niles. EPA
Emile Smith Rowe – 4. The 21-year-old showed some nice touches but they were largely in peripheral areas. A disappointing effort from a talented player. AFP
Alexandre Lacazette – 4. The Frenchman put through a wonderful pass for Aubameyang but it was his only highlight. He was taken off for Odegaard moments later in the 67th minute. Getty Images
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang – 4. The Gabonese was left isolated. He made a clever run to generate one chance but Alisson was equal to his shot from a narrow angle. Getty Images
SUB: Ainsley Maitland-Niles – 4. The 24-year-old replaced Sambi Lokonga in the 53rd minute. He did not add much to his team’s resistance. Getty Images
