An international break follows a dramatic Premier League weekend of results and controversy. Liverpool beat Arsenal 1-0 at Anfield through Dominik Szoboszlai's free-kick and remain perfect with three wins. Manchester City suffered a second straight loss and sit six points behind. Several contentious VAR decisions influenced outcomes, leaving Fulham aggrieved at Chelsea and helping Manchester United salvage a result. Thomas Frank recorded his first league defeat in charge of Tottenham. Liverpool kept a clean sheet for the first time in eight league matches. Arsenal have added Viktor Gyokeres and Eberechi Eze but still face a creativity shortfall.
'ROBOTIC' ARSENAL'S PROBLEMS EXPOSED Dominik Szoboszlai's brilliant free-kick handed Liverpool a 1-0 victory at Anfield that ensured that the champions are the only team with a perfect record of three wins from three games so far this season. Last week, all the talk was focused on Liverpool's shaky defence as they had conceded four goals in their opening two games, but this time around Arne Slot's men at the back were rock solid, keeping a clean sheet for the first time in eight league matches.
At the other end of the pitch, Arsenal's defence were stingy again, as they typically are, but Szoboszlai's magical free kick highlighted a key difference between the two title contenders - creativity. Mikel Arteta's side have revamped their attack this season with new front man Viktor Gyokeres, and the acquisition of Eberechi Eze, who came off the bench in his first appearance in an Arsenal shirt since joining from Crystal Palace.
