Arsenal had a huge slip up today in their pursuit of the Premier League title.
The Gunners were hoping to open up a five point lead at the top of the table, but instead, were hammered 5-1 by Liverpool and dropped to second place in the table.
Martin Skrtel opened the scoring after just 55 seconds as he got the final touch on a Steven Gerrard free kick.
It was the same combination for the second as Gerrard sent in a corner after 10 minutes, which Skrtel expertly looped into the Arsenal goal.
The Gunners didn't have a chance to catch their breath before they were 3-0 down.
Raheem Sterling tapping home at the back post from a Luis Suarez cross. And it went from bad to worse as Daniel Sturridge coolly slotted home to make it 4-0 after just 20 minutes.
Liverpool stayed in cruise control from there on as the visitors rarely threatened Liverpool goal.
The home side finally made it 5-0 after 51 minutes with Sterling getting his second as he rolled it under Szczesny on the second attempt.
Mikel Arteta restored some pride as he slotted home a penalty to make it 5-1 but it was far too little too late.
Chelsea winning 3-0 at home to Newcastle means that they are the new league leaders.
The only positive for Arsene Wenger was that Manchester City failed to capitalize as they drew 0-0 away to Norwich.
UP next for the Gunners is the league champions; Manchester United.
