Southampton vs Man Utd LIVE: Premier League result and final score after Bruno Fernandes’s goal

Stop Mohamed Salah and you stop Liverpool? Not exactly.

Bournemouth left Anfield having prevented the Egyptian from scoring or creating a goal. Their problem was that they also departed defeated by a record margin.

Liverpool equalled the biggest ever Premier League win, set twice by Manchester United and once by Leicester, and their own biggest league victory, the famous 9-0 against Crystal Palace and a 10-1 demolition of Rotherham Town in 1896.

If there was an oddity that Jurgen Klopp’s 21st-century side mustered nine goals without their main marksman finding the net, the banned Darwin Nunez had further reasons to rue his absence.

Even as Salah missed, others capitalised on Bournemouth’s abject haplessness. They took the opportunity to run riot.

Despite Arsenal’s best efforts there’s nothing to separate the two teams at half-time. It’s been a frustrating 45 minutes for the Gunners who’ve created eight chances but only manage one on target.

45+1 mins: Late pressure from Arsenal sees Fulham clinging on but they make it into the break with the scores all square.

It’s been a fairly one-sided match but Arsenal haven’t been able to break down the visitors.

44 mins: Gabriel Jesus and Palhinha get into a bit of a barney after the Fulham midfielder leaves too much on Bukayo Saka during a tackle.

The Brazilian striker isn’t pleased and squares up to his opponent with both players eventually getting yellow cards.

41 mins: Palhinha forces Odegaard off the ball and looks to kick start Fulham into a counter-attack. He shifts down the pitch before sliding one inside to Pereira.

Arsenal get back quickly and Fulham run into trouble.

38 mins: Fulham switch the play over to the left side of the pitch where Neekens Kebano brings the ball down on the stretch and drives past Ben White. He then plays the ball inside to Andreas Pereira who whips a first time shot over to the far corner and smokes it over the crossbar!

35 mins: Save! Xhaka is bungled off the ball in the middle of the pitch but Martinelli is close behind to collect the ball and thread it through the lines for Bukayo Saka.

Saka gets in behind Robinson, brings the ball under control and shifts it to his left foot before letting fly.

Bernd Leno - the former Arsenal no. 1 - is sharply off his line and pulls off a great save with his body to deny his former club the lead!

32 mins: Jesus is knocked over by Tosin just outside the box over to the left of the penalty area. Gabriel Martinelli stands over the free kick and whips his shot well over the crossbar.

That wasn’t a good effort.

30 mins: Chance! Gabriel Martinelli chests the ball under control and flicks it over the top as Gabriel Jesus flies through the lines.

He brings it under control, takes a touch into the area and looks to shoot just as Tim Ream arrives and slides into the ball to knock it behind for a corner kick.

The corner comes to nothing for Arsenal.

27 mins: Jesus fizzes a ball across the box to Saka who wins it in the air ahead of Antonee Robinson but there’s no-one in the box for his nod down.

Fulham scramble it clear but Arsenal recover the ball and sweep up the pitch again.
