For the second time in less than a week, the Reds were able to ruthlessly punish injury-hit Arsenal's lack of quality in the final third as the league leaders took their most decisive stride yet towards a second title in five years.

When they come to reflect on the 24/25 term, it will be these few days that will be proven most decisive.

The Reds had their breakthrough on 11 minutes when the excellent Luis Diaz was allowed the space to advance before his low ball into the box was turned home by Szoboszlai, who scored for a second successive game.

His eighth goal of the campaign means he has now scored more than he did in his debut term with at least 13 games left to play across all competitions.

Diogo Jota almost found Mohamed Salah at the back post after another razor-sharp venture forward, started by Diaz, but the Portugal striker's ball across the face was intercepted by a sprawling Lewis Hall before Szoboszlai flashed a curled effort wide later in the half.

Like the recent win over Wolves, Diaz looked so much more at home off the left here with a focal point in attack and while Cody Gakpoo, used off the bench, maybe has the shirt at present given his form in recent months, the Colombia international is making sure that is a real selection dilemma going forward for Slot.

A slow start to the second half was shrugged off after that Arsenal result filtered through and it was Mac Allister who battered home the second after the league's best player, Salah, wriggled free of a couple of challenges before supplying his team-mate with assist No.22 of a wondrous campaign.

It will likely be worth the wait.

With six games left to play here at home from the last 10, Fortress Anfield is about to become Party Central.
