* Liverpool beat Arsenal 4-0 at Anfield* Roberto Firmino headed Liverpool in front* Sadio Mane made it 2-0 before halftime* Mohamed Salah added the third* Substitute Daniel Sturridge headed home to complete the rout* Liverpool next at Manchester City, Arsenal host Bournemouth (Adds detail)By Simon EvansLIVERPOOL, England, Aug 27 (Reuters) - LIVERPOOL 4 ARSENAL 0Liverpool served up a thrilling display of attacking football to rip apart a woeful Arsenal side 4-0 in the Premier League at Anfield on Sunday. It was a performance which suggests that, regardless of the outcome of Barcelona's pursuit of Philippe Coutinho, Liverpool have enough firepower to be a threat in the top four this season. For Arsenal though, shocking defensive play, questionable selection choices from manager Arsene Wenger and a general lack of dynamism, will raise fresh questions over the direction the club is heading in. Indeed, had it not been for good goalkeeping from Cech throughout the game it could have been an even uglier scoreline for Arsenal. The effervescent Salah created the fourth with a cross from the left which was headed home by substitute Daniel Sturridge to complete a humiliating day for Arsenal and their manager.
