A goal in either half from Santi Cazorla and Aaron Ramsey eased Arsenal to a deserved 2-0 victory over Liverpool at the Emirates and established a five-point cushion at the top of the Premier League table for Arsene Wenger’s men.
After an unconvincing start from both sides in the top-of-the-table clash, Arsenal took the lead on 19 minutes when Cazorla’s header bounced back off the post and into the path of the midfielder, who made no mistake with an expertly placed volley.
Liverpool had the better of the latter part of the first half without creating a truly clear-cut chance, but Arsenal came out fired up after the break and extended their advantage with a scintillating half-volley from Aaron Ramsey for his sixth league goal of the season.
The result means Arsenal will be top of the league after next weekend’s games regardless of the outcome of their match against Manchester United, but they could move 11 points clear of the reigning champions with victory at Old Trafford.
