Arsenal moved five points clear at the top of the Barclays Premier League table with a comfortable 2-0 win over Liverpool on Saturday.
Arsene Wenger's men had gone into the game on the back of a League Cup defeat to Chelsea, but they bounced back to open up a healthy advantage over the
chasing pack in the Premier League
following their London rivals' 2-0 loss at Newcastle United earlier in the day.
Santi carzola opened the scoring as he pounced on a rebound after heading Bacary Sagna's right-wing cross against the post following a fine counter-attack from the hosts.
Liverpool had spells of pressure at various points in the match, but Arsenal killed things off after 59 minutes when Aaron ramsey collected a square pass from Mesut Ozil on the edge of the area
before unleashing a magnificent volley to all but the end the game as a contest.
But the visitors were fortunate as
Liverpool threatened an unlikely
comeback in the closing stages, Suarez twice spurned opportunities and Wojciech
Szczesny denying substitute Philippe Coutinho, but Arsenal saw out a deserved victory.
