Liverpool fans will be getting used to giving Arsenal thrashings considering the way the recent fixtures between the sides have gone. However, today is five years since they managed a particularly memorable win over the Gunners, as half a decade ago they won 5-1 at Anfield having been 4-0 up inside just 20 minutes.
FIVE YEARS AGO TODAY, Liverpool demolished Arsenal in maybe the most blistering football display seen over the course of 20 minutes in Anfield history. BT Sport made this ridiculously good ad about it, too! pic.twitter.com/QctgG7sMnF

That game for the Reds, one that started their title charge towards the Premier League trophy in 2013/14 was one of the most memorable games of the whole season, so memorable in fact that BT Sport made a TV advertisement around it. However, that game will also be a reminder of that famous season where they fell short of the title, and that is not the way the Reds want this campaign to go.
This season has also seen Liverpool smash five past Arsenal at Anfield, as they demolished the Gunners 5-1 back in December, however, they need to continue their dominance and not fade away as they aim to do what they couldn’t in that fateful season. Either way, though, they’ll always have that famous thrashing over the Gunners to look back on.

One of the most intense games I’ve seen, Suarez ran a mockery of that Arsenal team.

The classic 442 diamond at its absolute best. The Three Ss running riot and Coutinho and Stevie G pulling the strings. The finest ever first half at Anfield?

The Reds will always remember that hammering over Arsenal for all the right reasons if that season went down in history for the wrong ones.
