Arsenal v Liverpool: Player Ratings

Standard Sport assesses the individual performances as Arsenal took on Liverpool at the Emirates.

Arsenal scored three first-half goals to blow Liverpool away at the Emirates Stadium.

Striker from Hector Bellerin, Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez fired Arsene Wenger's men into dream in a blistering eight-minute spell in North London, with goalkeeper Simon Mignolet seemingly providing the only barrier between the Gunners and Liverpool's goal.

In truth, Liverpool could have taken the lead but for a mix-up between Lazar Markovic and Raheem Sterling, before Arsenal unleashed their onslaught.

A second half penalty from Jordan Henderson threatened to spark a comeback from the visitors, but any fade chance of a late storm from Brendan Rodgers' men subsided after Emre Can was issued his marching orders.
