Egypt's in-form winger Mohamed Salah scored following a brilliant individual effort and created another goal as Liverpool routed Arsenal 4-0 at home in the Premier League on Sunday.

Salah, who was unlucky not to score earlier, made it 3-0 in the 57th minute when he robbed Hector Bellerin in his own half, ran half the length of the pitch and beat Petr Cech with a low shot at his near post.

He also provided an inviting cross for substitute Daniel Sturridge to head home the fourth with 13 minutes remaining.

Jurgen Klopp's side went ahead in the 17th minute when full back Joe Gomez floated in a cross from the right and unmarked Brazilian Roberto Firmino headed home with ease.

Five minutes before the break, Liverpool broke with a flowing, passing move which ended with Sadio Mane cutting in from the left and driving a low shot into the far corner.

The contest was over in the 57th minute when Salah stole the ball from a hesitant Bellerin and burst from deep in his own half before coolly slotting past Cech.

The effervescent Salah created the fourth with a cross from the left which was headed home by Sturridge to complete a humiliating day for Arsenal and their manager Arsene Wenger.
