3 Stars of the Game...

After a most impressive victory versus Arsenal, here are my 3 stars of the game:

3. Emre Can - The German midfielder is blossoming before our eyes under Klopp's tutorage. After scoring two goals in the Champion's League playoff, Can's superb form continued against Arsenal. It's hard to remember that Can is just 23. Liverpool have told Juventus Can won't be sold this Summer, but the Reds need to do better and ink Can to a new deal. Can found himself in the middle of just about every Liverpool attack.

2. Sadio Mane - Mane's blistering pace gives trouble to most teams and Arsenal struggled containing him all day. Mane has allowed Liverpool supporters to put the Coutinho drama aside as the offense with Mane on the pitch is scary good. Remember, it was Mane's absence last season that slowed the Liverpool attack. Sadio gave the Reds a 2-goal lead at halftime after taking a pass from Firmino then cutting back across Holding to provide space for a shot. And what a shot it was, curling the ball around Cech and into the corner.

1. Mo Salah - Salah was a terror all game for Arsenal as the Gunners had no answer. He scored the Reds third goal but could have easily had 2 more goals. In total Salah had 5 shots and all five were on goal. It could be argued that he could have, or even should have scored at least one additional goal. Still, his pace proved trouble for Arsenal all game. In the second half Salah took the ball from Bellerin close to mid-field, sprinted the half of the pitch, and calmly shot past Petr Cech.

Those are my 3 stars, lets react. Who are your stars?
