Liverpool claimed a narrow 1-0 victory over Arsenal at Anfield. The only goal came late in the second half through Dominik Szoboszlai. The midfielder scored a stunning free-kick from distance in the 83rd minute, sealing three important points.
The game started with high intensity as both sides entered with perfect records. Arsenal had more control in the early stages but failed to create clear chances. Their momentum dropped after a defender was forced off early due to injury, disrupting their rhythm.
Liverpool remained patient and defended well throughout the match. Their backline looked more solid, helping the team secure a first clean sheet of the season. The decisive moment arrived when Szoboszlai stepped up for a free-kick and delivered a strike that left the goalkeeper with no chance.
The victory keeps Liverpool at the top of the Premier League table with nine points from three games. It also highlights the strong start under new manager Arne Slot, who praised the teamβs focus and fighting spirit.
For Arsenal, the defeat was a setback after two strong opening wins. They will now look to recover quickly during the international break. Injuries could be a concern, but their early performances still suggest they can compete at the top this season.
Liverpool, on the other hand, sent a clear message to their rivals. Winning tight games against strong opposition shows their determination to challenge for the title again this season.
