- Premier League
'Are you kidding me?' - Sports stars dumbfounded by Liverpool-Arsenal
Golfers, athletes, tennis players and rugby stars united in disbelief as Liverpool dismantled Arsenal in the opening 20 minutes of their Premier League encounter at Anfield.
Liverpool raced into a 4-0 lead in the eagerly anticipated fixture, with two goals from Martin Skrtel and further strikes from Raheem Sterling and Daniel Sturridge putting the scoring point on one of the most dramatic starts to a Premier League match in recent memory.
Sterling added a second goal of his own early in the second half, before a Mikel Arteta penalty rounded out the scoring in a 5-1 victory for Liverpool.
Arsenal fans Ian Poulter and Mo Farah were left bewildered, while Caroline Wozniacki - a devoted Liverpool supporter - was ecstatic:
@IanJamesPoulter you're lucky it's only 2!
