Premier League leaders Liverpool go nine points clear after thrashing Arsenal

Liverpool romped nine points clear at the top of the Premier League after thrashing Arsenal 5-1 at Anfield and are 4-7 from 8-11 to claim the title.

The Gunners took a shock lead through Ainsley Maitland-Niles, although Liverpool's reaction was fantastic as Roberto Firmino bagged a quickfire double before Sadio Mane made it three and Mohamed Salah effectively ended the contest from the spot.

Firmino completed his hat-trick with a penalty in the second half and the pressure is on champions Manchester City, who have ten points to find on the Merseysiders and are 15-8 to retain the title.

Second-placed Tottenham were rocked by a Wolves comeback as Spurs drifted to 25-1 to win the Premier League following a 3-1 loss at Wembley.
