The Gunners ran riot against the Reds, who scored two own goals in their 4-0 drubbing.
Arsenal ran rampant at the Emirates on Saturday, beating a hapless Liverpool side 4-0, and exacting a measure of revenge for their FA Cup exit.
The Gunners dominated possession and didn't concede a shot on target as they exerted control in a one-sided first half. Mariona Caldentey was imperious on the ball. Her curling effort, Arsenal's third goal of the game, ended the fixture as a contest before half-time.
Caitlin Foord opened the scoring halfway through the first period when she turned home a bouncing ball in the Liverpool box. A minute later, Jasmine Matthews skewed a cross past her own keeper. In a muted second half, she completed the scoring by deflecting another dangerous Arsenal pass beyond a helpless Rachael Laws in the Liverpool net.
GOAL rates Arsenal's players from the Emirates…
Getty Images SportGoalkeeper & Defence
Daphne van Domselaar (5/10):
Hard to rate the Dutch number one's performance considering Liverpool mustered zero shots on target. A quiet afternoon.
Emily Fox (7/10):
Non-stop in attack, diligent in defence. An all-round showing.
Leah Williamson (6/10):
Popped up in attacking positions in open play and at set pieces. Lovely pass to unlock Liverpool's defence for the fourth.
Steph Cately (6/10):
Comfortable in possession, hardly stressed in defence. An accomplished, if forgettable, performance.
Katie McCabe (6/10):
Fantastic delivery from either flank. Subbed at half time after an unnecessary booking picked up after the ref's whistle.

Mariona Caldentey (9/10):
Omnipresent. Her curling effort on the stroke of half time killed any hope of a genuine contest.
Kim Little (7/10):
Not quite as impressive as her midfield partner, but still highly influential. A potential ankle injury will be a concern.
Frida Maanum (7/10):
A constant threat. Unlucky not to add to her personal tally after hitting both posts in the first half.

Caitlin Foord (8/10):
Took the opening goal well. Heavily involved in the second too. Pressed Liverpool relentlessly. A consummate nuisance.
Alessia Russo (6/10):
Flashes of class from England's number 9, but hardly a vintage performance. One touch on a dropping ball in the first half was sumptuous.
Chloe Kelly (6/10):
Pressed well but lacked the incision of Foord on the other wing.

Jenna Nighswonger (5/10):
Came on at half-time. Decent deliveries from set pieces but hardly needed to break a sweat.
Beth Mead (6/10):
Clever run and deflected cross led to the fourth goal.
Lia Wälti (5/10):
A comfortable cameo in the middle of the park.
Victoria Pelova (5/10):
Came on for the imperious Caldentey. Couldn't exert the same influence, but the game was already well in hand.
Katie Read (N/A)
No time to have an impact.
Renee Slegers (7/10):
She can be proud of a professional performance, but little adjustment needed to be made during the game.
