Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold hailed the manner of victory over Arsenal.

The Reds returned to winning ways in emphatic fashion as Sadio Mane, Diogo Jota, Mohamed Salah and Takumi Minamino were on the scoresheet for the hosts.

Typically, Alexander-Arnold provided assists for two of the goals.

The defender later said: "It was exactly what we needed, it was exactly what we expect of ourselves. Massively disappointed before the international break with the loss – a team of our quality shouldn't be losing games. In this league, [with] the way it's going, any loss is a very bad loss.

"But we bounced back today in the best way we could. A clean sheet, four goals – we can't ask for much more from the lads. A very good performance. They came with two banks of four, tough to break down in the first half, very difficult indeed. But we broke them down in the end, scored our goals and put the game to bed and seeing it out with a clean sheet, which is always good."

He added: "just need to keep up that form hopefully going into this tough run of fixtures. They're coming thick and fast in the Christmas period, all games are very important and hopefully I'll be able to keep that form going into this run. I'm feeling good out there, playing with freedom."
