Liverpool put their disappointing defeat at Leicester on Monday behind them to move up to third place in the Premier League with a 3-1 home win over Arsenal, who dropped to fifth.
Arsene Wenger raised eyebrows when he left Alexis Sanchez on the bench, starting Danny Welbeck, while Mesut Ozil missed the match through illness.
The change did nothing for the Londoners as Liverpool produced a dominant first-half performance to take total control by the break thanks to goals from Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane.
Sanchez came on at the break and Arsenal pulled a goal back through Welbeck, but Georginio Wijnaldum finished a lightning counter-attack involving Adam Lallana late on.
