<a href="https://www.thenationalnews.com/tags/mohamed-salah/" target="_blank">Mohamed Salah </a>overtook Thierry Henry to move up to seventh in the Premier League's all-time goalscoring charts as Liverpool thrashed Ipswich 4-1 at Anfield. The win means<a href="https://www.thenationalnews.com/tags/liverpool/" target="_blank"> Liverpool</a> are six points clear of second-placed Arsenal, who grabbed a battling victory at Wolves, with a game in hand over their rivals. Egyptian forward Salah overtook Gunners legend Henry's 175 top-flight goals as he scored in the 35th minute to take his tally to 176. It was Salah's 19th Premier League goal of the season and his 100th at Anfield. Dominik Szoboszlai opened the scoring for Arne Slot's side in the 11th minute as he struck a shot hard and low past Ipswich keeper Christian Walton following a fine pass by Ibrahima Konate. Salah then doubled the home side's lead after 35 minutes when he found the net from close range from a Cody Gakpo cross to the back post. Gakpo made it 3-0 just before the interval. Ryan Gravenberch found Szoboszlai, whose shot was saved by Walton but the ball fell to the feet of the Dutchman, who bundled it over the line. Gakpo then headed home an outstanding cross from Trent Alexander-Arnold to make it 4-0 before Jacob Greaves grabbed a consolation for the visitors in the 90th minute. After the match, two-goal hero Gakpo told the BBC: “I really do love scoring here but the most important thing was the win today. “Everyone knows his quality [Trent Alexander-Arnold]. I was eager to be on time in the box [to meet his cross]. “Obviously we grow as a team. It's one year more [from last season]. We have a different manager, a slightly different style of play - more possession based. “Everyone is in good form but we have to keep going.” <a href="https://www.thenationalnews.com/tags/arsenal/" target="_blank">Arsenal</a> showed plenty of fighting spirit to snatch a 1-0 win against Wolves after both sides were reduced to 10 men. Gunners midfielder Myles Lewis-Skelly was controversially dismissed after 43 minutes at Molineux. He was show a straight red card by referee Michael Oliver for serious foul play after he tripped Matt Doherty as he made a break from the edge of the Wolves box. The decision was upheld after a VAR check. Wolves midfielder Joao Gomes was then given his marching orders after 70 minutes after picking up a second yellow card for a foul on Jurrien Timber. And it was the man who was introduced to shore up the Gunners' midfield after Lewis-Skelly's dismissal, Riccardo Calafiori, who grabbed their winner. He produced a brilliant half-volley to send a right-wing cross past Jose Sa in the Wolves goal. Calafiori told Sky Sports afterwards: “It's so important to get this win, as you can imagine. But we want to win the next one as well. We want to continue like this. “I said to my teammates. I was laughing with them because I can only score goals like this. I must focus on easier things. It's my job, you know.” On Myles Lewis-Skelly's red card, he said: “From the bench, it was clearly not a red card. I saw him at half-time and he was so disappointed for the team. But in the end we won, so nothing happened. He is a good footballer and a good guy, so we help him a lot.” Third-placed Nottingham Forest slipped back in the title race as they were thrashed 5-0 at Bournemouth, with Dango Outtara hitting a hat-trick at the Vitality Stadium. Justin Kluivert scored his 11th league goal of the campaign and Antoine Semenyo was also on the scoresheet as Andoni Iraola's side stretched their unbeaten Premier League run to a club record 11 games. Bournemouth midfielder Lewis Cook told BBC Match of the Day: “A great game of football, especially scoring that many goals. We knew it was going to be a test, they are a great team. We're delighted.” On Outtara's hat-trick, he said: “A few people had questions before he started playing that role. But we knew his quality. He's been playing out of position but a hat-trick for him, he's doing alright.” Meanwhile, Newcastle United came from a goal down to beat Southampton 3-1 at St Mary's Stadium, with Alexander Isak grabbing a brace. A Jan Bednarek header put the Saints ahead after 10 minutes before Isak won and converted a penalty in the 26th minute. Isak struck again just four minutes later with a curling shot for his 17th league goal of the season before Sandro Tonali grabbed the visitors' third after 51 minutes. The win moves Eddie Howe's side back into the top four while Southampton stay bottom of the table, 10 points from Wolves in 18th place. Everton continued their bright start under David Moyes with a 1-0 win at Brighton. The Toffees built on last weekend’s victory over Spurs as Iliman Ndiaye’s first half penalty was the difference to move seven points clear of the relegation zone.
