Liverpool thrust themselves firmly back into the battle for a place in the Premier League s top four as they outclassed abject Arsenal at Emirates Stadium.
Chelsea s shock thrashing at home to West Brom earlier in the day opened the door for Liverpool - and Jurgen Klopp s men burst straight through it in style with a victory that leaves them in fifth, only two points behind Thomas Tuchel s side.
The only surprise was that it took dominant Liverpool so long to make their superiority count.
They finally got the breakthrough they deserved after 64 minutes when Diogo Jota headed Trent Alexander-Arnold s brilliant delivery past Arsenal goalkeeper Bernd Leno three minutes after he replaced Andy Robertson.

HUALIEN, Taiwan (Reuters) -A Taiwan court on Saturday released on bond the manager of a construction site whose truck authorities believe caused a train accident that killed at least 51 people, as family members mourned the dead at the crash site.
The crash on Friday was Taiwan s worst rail accident in seven decades, when an express train hit the truck that had slid down a bank beside the track from the building site. The site s manager is suspected of having failed to properly engage the truck s brake.
The train, with almost 500 people aboard, was travelling from Taipei, the capital, to Taitung on the east coast when it derailed in a tunnel just north of the city of Hualien. Forty one people are in hospital, from among the 188 reported injured.

BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) -Argentina on Saturday confirmed that President Alberto Fernandez has tested positive for the new coronavirus, saying the first-term Peronist leader was in generally good health despite having suffered a headache and light fever.
Fernandez, who turned 62 on Friday, had previously said on Twitter that he was in isolation under standard COVID-19 protocols after an initial test showed he had the virus. He had received Russia s Sputnik V vaccine early this year. The diagnosis of COVID-19 infection is confirmed. The clinical picture is mild due in large part to the protective effect of the vaccine received, said a statement issued by the president s doctor, Federico Saavedra.

Brazil’s Defense Ministry on Wednesday named new commanders of its armed forces, a day after the previous three chiefs were sacked as part of President Jair Bolsonaro’s unprecedented attempt to meddle in the military.
Paulo Sergio Nogueira de Oliveira will take over the army, Almir Garnier the navy and Carlos Almeida Baptista Júnior the air force, said Defense Minister Walter Braga Netto in his first news conference since assuming his new role this week.
As he announced the names, Braga Netto said the armed forces remained faithful to their constitutional mission.
“The military has not been found wanting in the past and will not be found wanting when the country needs it,” he said.
