Liverpool maintained their 100 percent start to the season last Saturday, beating Arsenal 3-1 to stay top of the Premier League.
Joel Matip’s header got the ball rolling, before Mohamed Salah’s quickfire double put the game to bed, prior to Lucas Torreira’s late consolation.
A number of Liverpool loan players were also in action over the weekend, but how did they fare for their respective teams?

Wilson scored a stunning free-kick for Bournemouth, having come off the substitutes’ bench in the first half, replacing the injured Charlie Daniels.
The Cherries were defeated 3-1 by Champions Manchester City, however, as Sergio Aguero (2) and Raheem Sterling got the goals.
