[Video Highlights] Liverpool 5-1 Arsenal: Rampant Reds Demolish Gunners

Liverpool produced a magnificent display to thrash league leaders Arsenal 5-1 at Anfield on Saturday afternoon.

The hosts came flying out the blocks and quickly went 2-0 ahead thanks to a double from Martin Skrtel following two Steven Gerrard set pieces. It was 3-0 soon after when Raheem Sterling swept home from close range before Daniel Sturridge made it 4 after just 20 minutes with a fine finish after being sent through by Philippe Coutinho.

Things for worst for the Gunners when Sterling got his second of the game shortly after half-time before Mikel Arteta grabbed a consolation from the penalty spot after Gerrard had brought down Oxlade-Chamberlain.

The win sees Liverpool move to within five points of Arsenal – who could drop to third if Chelsea and Man City both win today.
