Nigeria, Aug. 24 -- Mohamed Salah scored twice on Saturday as Liverpool maintained their 100 per cent start to the new season with a 3-1 thumping of Arsenal at Anfield.

The hosts took the lead through Joel Matip towards the end of a first half in which Arsenal had chances despite ceding the lion's share of possession and territory, and then took the game away from their visitors during a dominant second half.

Salah doubled the advantage from the penalty spot four minutes after the interval and then sealed the points in style with a fine individual effort to ensure Jurgen Klopp's side are the only team with a perfect record after three league games this season.
