Captain Martin Odegaard made it 3-0 with a close-range finish in 71st minute before Brazilian Martinelli grabbed his second to complete the rout.

Everton, who now have only one victory from their last 27 league visits to Arsenal, had actually looked capable of taking something from the game. Liverpool climbed into sixth spot in the table on 39 points, ahead of Fulham on goal difference and with a game in hand, but the home side were forced to work hard on a rainy night at Anfield.

Wolves remain just three points above the relegation zone in 15th as the visitors were made to pay once more for the lack of a goal threat going forward. The Reds close to within six points of fourth-placed Tottenham with a game in hand over Spurs still to come. Jurgen Klopp’s men were again far from the force of recent seasons, but have now taken 10 points from a possible 12 in their last four league games to remain in the hunt for a top-four finish.
