Mohamed Salah put in a real shift against the Gunners and his impressive link-up play with the Mane and Firmino left the Arsenal defenders on their trails.

The Egyptian often played on the shoulders of Sokratis and Mustafi and his searing pace caused a plethora of problems for Arsenal's rearguard.

Salah exhibited his class on the stroke of half-time when he slalomed his way past Sead Kolasinac, only to be brought down in the box by Sokratis. Salah showed great composure from the spot and gave his side a comfortable 4-1 lead while heading into the interval. He showed some great off the ball movement by escaping Lichtsteiner's marking during the build-up to Sadio Mane's goal.

After the interval, Salah had a few chances to heap more misery on Arsenal as an exquisite link up with Shaqiri lacked the telling touch to round off a brilliant move. Overall, it was a brilliant performance for last season's top scorer who terrorised Arsenal's back line and his efforts were rewarded with a goal and an assist to his name.
