Nobody ever really doubted Liverpool’s Premier League title credentials when they lost at West Ham prior to the international break, but if there were any question marks over the staying power of Jurgen Klopp and his players, they banished them emphatically with a comprehensive 4-0 win Saturday against Arsenal at Anfield.
The mark of a great team is how it reacts to a setback and Liverpool did that in brutal fashion against Mikel Arteta’s Gunners, with goals from Sadio Mane, Diogo Jota, Mohamed Salah and Takumi Minamino.
Liverpool’s win moved them up to second place, four points behind leaders Chelsea, and kept Klopp’s men positioned in what is beginning to look like a box office three-horse race for the title with Chelsea and Manchester City.
