Sadio Mane 9, Alisson 9, Alexandre Lacazette 7: Liverpool v Arsenal player ratings

Premier League champions claim a 3-1 win over the Gunners at Anfield

Liverpool extended their perfect start to the Premier League season on Monday night with a 3-1 win over Arsenal at Anfield.

Alexandre Lacazette put the visitors in front on 25 minutes after a rare error from Andrew Robertson, but Liverpool were level three minutes later when Sadio Mane tapped in Mohamed Salah's parried shot.

Liverpool maintain 100% start with win over Arsenal

Liverpool grabbed the lead soon after when Robertson made amends by finishing a Trent Alexander-Arnold cross that evaded the Arsenal defence.

Arsenal had numerous chances to pull level, particularly through Lacazette, who squandered two one-on-ones, and Liverpool punished the Gunners' profligacy when substitute Diogo Jota, on for his debut, scored in the 88th-minute.

Defending champions Liverpool move on to a maximum nine points from the first three games, while Arsenal suffered their first defeat of the league season.

Tips for used car buyers
  • Choose cars with GCC specifications
  • Get a service history for cars less than five years old
  • Don’t go cheap on the inspection
  • Check for oil leaks
  • Do a Google search on the standard problems for your car model
  • Do your due diligence. Get a transfer of ownership done at an official RTA centre
  • Check the vehicle’s condition. You don’t want to buy a car that’s a good deal but ends up costing you Dh10,000 in repairs every month
  • Validate warranty and service contracts with the relevant agency and and make sure they are valid when ownership is transferred
  • If you are planning to sell the car soon, buy one with a good resale value. The two most popular cars in the UAE are black or white in colour and other colours are harder to sell

Closing the loophole on sugary drinks

As The National reported last year, non-fizzy sugared drinks were not covered when the original tax was introduced in 2017. Sports drinks sold in supermarkets were found to contain, on average, 20 grams of sugar per 500ml bottle.

The non-fizzy drink AriZona Iced Tea contains 65 grams of sugar – about 16 teaspoons – per 680ml can. The average can costs about Dh6, which would rise to Dh9.

Drinks such as Starbucks Bottled Mocha Frappuccino contain 31g of sugar in 270ml, while Nescafe Mocha in a can contains 15.6g of sugar in a 240ml can.

Flavoured water, long-life fruit juice concentrates, pre-packaged sweetened coffee drinks fall under the ‘sweetened drink’ category
 

Not taxed:

Freshly squeezed fruit juices, ground coffee beans, tea leaves and pre-prepared flavoured milkshakes do not come under the ‘sweetened drink’ band.

If you go

The flights

Fly direct to London from the UAE with Etihad, Emirates, British Airways or Virgin Atlantic from about Dh2,500 return including taxes. 

The hotel

Rooms at the convenient and art-conscious Andaz London Liverpool Street cost from £167 (Dh800) per night including taxes.

The tour

The Shoreditch Street Art Tour costs from £15 (Dh73) per person for approximately three hours.
