The Gunners fired on all cylinders in a solid performance at the home of the Merseyside giants

The result saw her snatch her 12^th Victory in a row in the premier class.

A win that sees them equal the league record set by themselves and Manchester City.

Among the artists who wowed visitors was Frida Maanum.

The Gunners’ ace was a threat in midfield alongside Kim Little and Lia Walti as Arsenal managed to win the game as usual and dominate the game for big periods.

The WSL ace helped Arsenal resume business as usual after beating Lyon 5-1, with Eidevall keeping the same line-up.

Keeping Maanum on his side, the Arsenal boss told BBC Sport: “It’s a pleasant headache, isn’t it?

“It’s also a really good sign for any player who wants to see what you do when you don’t get chances.

“People remember when you play, they don’t remember when you don’t play, so let it be.”

Eidevall added: “It was difficult, it’s difficult to play a third away game in a week. I like the heart we put on the pitch today.

“We work extremely hard for each other.

“We showed that we fit in with them and we were very good at expressing ourselves on the ball. That’s the difference.”

Gunners forward Foord said: “We had a short turn and a bit of travel.

“We definitely felt it towards the end and it was agony to see the game finish.

Walti gave Arsenal the lead when he brought the opener home from the edge of the box in the 15th minute.
