Post-Game: Five-star Liverpool thrash Arsenal to end memorable year on high and go further clear at top

What a performance. What a year. And what a lead at the top. Yes, Liverpool are now nine points clear in first place in the Premier League after they signed off in 2018 with a thumping 5-1 victory over Arsenal at Anfield this evening. The record-breaking Reds’ ninth straight league victory ensured they took full advantage of second-placed Tottenham’s shock home loss to Wolves earlier in the day. And it also ensured they moved a massive 10 points clear of third-placed Manchester City, who let’s remember, held a five-point advantage at the top just 25 days ago. Host Paul Wheelock kicks us off before you hear the definitive verdict of our Liverpool FC correspondent James Pearce, and then the thoughts of the six excellent Reds fans who phoned into the show.
