Liverpool: Liverpool maintained their 100 per cent winning record in Premier League as they thrashed Arsenal 3-1 at Anfield on Saturday.
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp lauded his side’s desire for more success.
Klopp’s men lifted the Champions League last season, but narrowly missed out on a first Premier League title in 29 years to Manchester City by one point.Liverpool and City look set to do battle for the title again, but the Reds opened up an early five-point lead over the champions, who face Bournemouth on Sunday, with a dominant display over the Gunners. “A brilliant game from my side so early in the season,” said Klopp.”Outstanding. A performance full of power, full of energy, full of greed, full of passion. That’s what you need against such a good team like Arsenal.”
Both sides started with the only 100 percent records left in England’s top-flight, but Liverpool demonstrated the chasm that still exists behind them and City. Arsenal have now lost their last three visits to Anfield by a combined score of 12-2 and early season optimism was snuffed out despite promising signs from club record signing Nicolas Pepe. The Ivorian was handed his first start since a £72 million ($87 million) move. (AFP)
