EPL UPDATE: Liverpool Whitewash Arsenal As Wolves Devour Spurs

Liverpool sustained their lead in the EPL with a superlative performance that saw them whitewash Arsenal 5-1 at Amfield.

Ironically, it was the gunners that took the lead through Maitland-Niles who put away Alex Iwobi’s low cross.

The lead lasted for only three minutes before Firmino scored two goals in two minutes to equalize and put the home side in front.

Mane and Salah made it 4-1 before half time. Firmino completed his hat-trick in the second half to give the leaders a resounding victory ahead of their next league match against defending champions Manchester City.

Liverpool are now nine points clear after second placed Tottenham Hotspurs threw away their 1-0 first half lead to lose at home 1-3 to hungry Wolves.

Brighton defeated Everton by a lone goal, the same margin with which Fulham defeated fellow strugglers Huddersfield.

Cardiff defeated Leicester City 1-0 at the King Power Stadium while Watford and Newcastle United settled for a 1-1 draw.
