Liverpool continued their perfect start to the Premier League season with a 1-0 win over Arsenal at Anfield, decided by a moment of magic from Dominik Szoboszlai.
A Tight Encounter
Both sides went into the game knowing how important this clash could be in the title race. Arsenal looked organised and disciplined, while Liverpool struggled to find space in the final third. Chances were limited, and much of the contest was fought in midfield.
The Decisive Moment
With the game heading towards a stalemate, Szoboszlai produced a thunderbolt in the 83rd minute. His powerful free-kick swerved past Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya, who later admitted he was caught off guard by the unpredictable movement of the new Premier League ball.
Arsenal’s Setback
Arsenal’s problems deepened as William Saliba suffered an injury, forcing an early reshuffle in defence. Despite enjoying good spells of possession, Mikel Arteta’s side failed to test Liverpool enough and were punished by a single moment of brilliance.
What It Means
- Liverpool stay perfect, moving clear at the top of the table.
- Arsenal drop valuable points in what could be a defining fixture come the end of the season.
- The match underlined how small margins and individual brilliance can decide big games in the Premier League.
Liverpool fans will celebrate Szoboszlai’s strike as one of the early highlights of the season, while Arsenal will be left wondering how they let the game slip away.
