Liverpool maintain 100 percent record

London

Champions Liverpool maintained their 100 percent start to the Premier League season as they came from behind to beat Arsenal 3-1 on Monday.

Alexandre Lacazette put Arsenal ahead but Sadio Mane, Andy Robertson, and new signing Diogo Jota scored the goals as Liverpool joined Everton and Leicester at the top with nine points, according to Deutsche press agency (DPA).

"The football we played tonight was absolutely exceptional," Liverpool manager Juergen Klopp said.

"From the first second dominant against a team in form. We won it completely deserved. Could we have scored more goals? Yes. Could they have scored more, obviously."

Lacazette gave Arsenal the lead on 25 minutes against the run of play after a mix-up in the Liverpool defense.

But their lead lasted just two minutes as Mane scored from close range and Robertson then made it 2-1 before half-time.

Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson denied Lacazette in a 1-on-1 chance before substitute Jota, who had already hit the side netting, scored on his home debut with a fine finish on 88 minutes to seal the victory.

"We can't have too many complaints, other than my assist at the wrong end," Liverpool full-back Robertson said.
