Liverpool earned a 3-0 win at Arsenal on Saturday night, allowing fans to dream of a top-four finish and build confidence ahead of Tuesday’s trip to Real Madrid.
Arsenal 0-3 Liverpool
Premier League (30), Emirates
April 3, 2021
Goals: Jota 64′ 82′, Salah 68′
With both Chelsea and Leicester slipping up earlier in the day, the Reds needed a big performance to reassert themselves as top-four hopefuls.
A difficult first half eventually made way for a bloodbath, prompted by the introduction of Diogo Jota, who scored either side of a Mohamed Salah strike to secure a 3-0 victory.
The three points put Liverpool just two behind fourth-placed Chelsea, and with Madrid to come in midweek, three wins on the bounce puts them in a strong position.
Here’s how supporters saw the Reds’ triumph in north London on Twitter, Facebook and the comments section.
A big win, and dreams of a top-four finish are revived…
Happy Easter reds! Well done lads ?? https://t.co/UkHrwtKxKB

Absolutely flawless performance there. One of the best this season.

#LFC simply had to win to open up the top four race and they’ve done it emphatically.
A month or so ago, it looked impossible. You wouldn’t bet against them now.

2 points behind Chelsea with 8 games to go
I think we will be alright…

A valuable win in the top four race but also for momentum. That’s 3 wins in a row now for only the third time this season.
Last time we had such a run was back in November, where it was 5.— Joanna Durkan (@JoannaDurkan_) April 3, 2021
Brilliant performance. Now let's win the next 13 matches ?

Mad that we might get top 4 and are still in the Champions League.

Trent’s England omission was on the mind…
Imagine not rating Trent?
Southgate isn’t right in the head.
Best RB in the league.

Good cross by former England international Trent Alexander-Arnold to create that goal ???
— Ian Doyle (@IanDoyleSport) April 3, 2021
This young #lfc right-back Alexander-Arnold looks good. Constantly involved, intelligent positioning, defending well and putting in some great crosses to Milner, Salah and now Jota who scores. Maybe worth a look for #eng.

How do you not pick Alexander-Arnold? Disgraceful from Southgate.
— Henry Jackson (@HenryJackson87) April 3, 2021
The only way this wonderful Trent Alexander-Arnold performance could be more of a statement to Gareth Southgate would be if he did a post-match interview on Sky saying "you just try and drop me again you fucking Burton waistcoat dickhead."

Jota deserved huge praise from supporters…
Diogo Jota came on and turned the bloody heat up ?

Diogo Jota, what a player, instant cutting edge to the team with him on. #LFC

Jota is gonna be a superstar.

Can’t bench him again. #Jota

Diogo Jota has now scored 8 Premier League goals this season, making him Liverpool’s second top scorer in the competition. This is despite him starting just 8 games.
An impressive start to his LFC career. ? pic.twitter.com/TiyBUDSC7N

And attentions can now turn to Madrid…
Real confident look about LFC today. Strong press early. Good defensively. And a different dimension to attack when Jota came on. On to Madrid ??????

3-0 away at Arsenal is a right result for the Reds and completely deserved. Take that momentum to Madrid and we’re in business #ARSLIV #LFC
