Arsenal player ratings vs Liverpool: Gunners run riot against sorry Reds as Mariona Caldentey runs the show and brilliant Caitlin Foord scores in thumping victory

The Gunners ran riot against the Reds, who scored two own goals in their 4-0 drubbing.

Arsenal ran rampant at the Emirates on Saturday, beating a hapless Liverpool side 4-0, and exacting a measure of revenge for their FA Cup exit.

The Gunners dominated possession and didn't concede a shot on target as they exerted control in a one-sided first half. Mariona Caldentey was imperious on the ball. Her curling effort, Arsenal's third goal of the game, ended the fixture as a contest before half-time.

Caitlin Foord opened the scoring halfway through the first period when she turned home a bouncing ball in the Liverpool box. A minute later, Jasmine Matthews skewed a cross past her own keeper. In a muted second half, she completed the scoring by deflecting another dangerous Arsenal pass beyond a helpless Rachael Laws in the Liverpool net.

Goalkeeper & Defence
Daphne van Domselaar (5/10):
Hard to rate the Dutch number one's performance considering Liverpool mustered zero shots on target. A quiet afternoon.
Emily Fox (7/10):
Non-stop in attack, diligent in defence. An all-round showing.
Leah Williamson (6/10):
Popped up in attacking positions in open play and at set pieces. Lovely pass to unlock Liverpool's defence for the fourth.
Steph Cately (6/10):
Comfortable in possession, hardly stressed in defence. An accomplished, if forgettable, performance.
Katie McCabe (6/10):
Fantastic delivery from either flank. Subbed at half time after an unnecessary booking picked up after the ref's whistle.

Midfield
Mariona Caldentey (9/10):
Omnipresent. Her curling effort on the stroke of half time killed any hope of a genuine contest.
Kim Little (7/10):
Not quite as impressive as her midfield partner, but still highly influential. A potential ankle injury will be a concern.
Frida Maanum (7/10):
A constant threat. Unlucky not to add to her personal tally after hitting both posts in the first half.

Attack
Caitlin Foord (8/10):
Took the opening goal well. Heavily involved in the second too. Pressed Liverpool relentlessly. A consummate nuisance.
Alessia Russo (6/10):
Flashes of class from England's number 9, but hardly a vintage performance. One touch on a dropping ball in the first half was sumptuous.
Chloe Kelly (6/10):
Pressed well but lacked the incision of Foord on the other wing.

Subs & Manager
Jenna Nighswonger (5/10):
Came on at half-time. Decent deliveries from set pieces but hardly needed to break a sweat.
Beth Mead (6/10):
Clever run and deflected cross led to the fourth goal.
Lia Wälti (5/10):
A comfortable cameo in the middle of the park.
Victoria Pelova (5/10):
Came on for the imperious Caldentey. Couldn't exert the same influence, but the game was already well in hand.
Katie Read (N/A)
No time to have an impact.
Renee Slegers (7/10):
She can be proud of a professional performance, but little adjustment needed to be made during the game.
