Markus Babbel's long throw from the right is deflected by Vieira into the path of Steven Gerrard, who from just outside the box cracks home a thunderous shot beyond the reach of Alex Manninger into the net.
Emile Heskey powers into the left edge of the Arsenal box, shrugs off a challenge from Keown and is denied by a save from Manninger. The ball goes straight to Michael Owen who slots home goal number two.
A through ball from Vladimir Smicer sends Nick Barmby scampering away down the left and he produces a brilliant chip over Manninger to make it 3-0 Liverpool. Great stuff!
Good work from Igor Biscan finds Barmby who slides a pass into Robbie Fowler's path, and the Reds vice-captain makes no mistake with the finish beyond Manninger to make it 4-0.
