BIG MATCH FACTS

This was Arsenal’s heaviest Premier League defeat since a 0-4 loss to Southampton at St. Mary’s on Boxing Day 2015. Four of Arsenal’s eight Premier League defeats by a margin of four or more goals have come against Liverpool at Anfield. Arsenal have lost their first two Premier League away games in a season for only the second time under Arsene Wenger (the other was 2005-06). Only West Ham United (10) have conceded more Premier League goals this season than Arsenal (8). Arsenal didn’t attempt a single shot on target in this match – the first time they haven’t had one in a Premier League game since October 5, 2014 (v Chelsea). Liverpool have kept four clean sheets in a row at Anfield in the Premier League for the first time since September 2013. Arsenal have lost nine of their last 14 Premier League away matches (W4 D1 L9) – their previous nine away defeats in the competition came over a period of 47 games (W25 D13 L9). Liverpool’s third goal (Mohamed Salah) came only 12 seconds after Arsenal took a corner. Sadio Mane is only the third player to score in the first three PL games of a season for Liverpool (after Robbie Fowler in 1994-95 & Daniel Sturridge in 2013-14). Mane has scored in all three of his Premier League appearances for Liverpool against Arsenal.
