Arsenal 4-1 Liverpool: Hector Bellerin, Mesut Ozil Alexis Sanchez and Olivier Giroud run rout

At half time, the Liverpool fans struck up with a hopeful chorus of ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’, as they once did in Istanbul on another occasion when they were 3-0 down at half time. This time though it felt more like a lament for lost opportunities

For this was no Istanbul and Champions League victories and even qualification for the tournament seem an awful long way off after this crushing defeat.

It is Arsenal who are the team of the moment. And in Mesut Ozil they have one of the most sublime performers; at least they do when he when he plays like this.

A top performance by the gunners with first half goals from Mesut Ozil Hecter Bellerlin Alexis Sanchez and a second half Olivier Giroud sublime strike
