Roberto Fermino scored three goals to advance Liverpool's Premier League lead to nine points after crashing Arsenal 5-1 at Anfield on Saturday.
Arsenal's visit to Anfield in fifth place was seen as a real test of Liverpool's candidacy for the title, all the more so as it takes place in a busy period, especially when confronting the Manchester City champion Thursday.
But after a quick warning when Arsenal took the lead in the 11th minute, Juergen Klopp's team had the best speed, strength and offensive ball to win its ninth consecutive league victory.
Liverpool has nine points ahead of Tottenham Hotspur, second, who sank 3-1 at home against Wolverhampton Wanderers. Manchester City, third, could narrow the gap to seven points if it beat Southampton Sunday.
But the next Merseyside team will not be concerned about the results of others because of its performance.
There may still be 18 more games left at the end of the season and changes could be made in an incredible season so far, but it is certain that the current Liverpool team can not be easily shaken .
Arsenal did their best to refute this idea by taking advantage of Diane Lofferen's mistake to qualify and Alex Ayoubi sent a superb deep pass around Ainsley Maitland-Niels easily into the goal, the player's first goal of 21 years of league ..
It was the first time that Juergen Klopp's team had been delayed at home since December 30, 2017, but it only took three minutes to score a draw.
Mohammed Salah went into the penalty box and fell under pressure from Arsenal defenders to prepare for Fermino's free kick.
Fermino showed his potential with a superb goal in individual, while three Arsenal defenders dodged before hitting the net with the left foot.
It was a great goal to bring back to memory some of the best forwards who wore the Liverpool jersey with artistic skill and a vision of Luis Suarez or Kenny Dalglish.
The Arsenal midfielder has been tampered with and the coaching team has seemed to be as fragile as in the recent years of Arsene Wenger.
Sadeo Mani scored 3-1 after a ball brilliantly prepared by Salah after an incredible long pass from Andy Robertson, then the Egyptian striker scored on a penalty that he had lost after falling into the area.
Fermino finished his first trilogy with Liverpool after a penalty shot after a shot by Siad Kolashinets against Diane Lovrin in the 65th minute.
It was then to try to avoid hurting any player before the trip to City, a game appreciated by all neutral fans and that could be a real indicator of the result of the title race.
