"Last term's top two were the only teams defending perfect records by Sunday, following Tottenham's surprise defeat at home to Bournemouth on Saturday. And there was nothing to separate them until the 83rd minute, when Szoboszlai provided a moment of magic. The Hungary international, who was again deputising for the injured Jeremie Frimpong at right-back, whipped a wonderful dead-ball effort off the left post and in from 32 yards out, giving David Raya no chance."
"Liverpool had earlier been frustrated by a solid rearguard action from Arsenal, who were without Bukayo Saka due to a hamstring issue and also lost William Saliba to injury after just five minutes. Noni Madueke's volley forced Alisson into the only meaningful save of the first half, while Hugo Ekitike had an effort chalked off in the 61st minute, due to Cody Gakpo being offside as he attempted to scramble a loose ball home."
Dominik Szoboszlai scored an 83rd-minute direct free-kick from 32 yards, curling the ball off the left post and in to give Liverpool a 1-0 victory over Arsenal at Anfield. Szoboszlai was playing at right-back in place of the injured Jeremie Frimpong. Arsenal were without Bukayo Saka because of a hamstring issue and lost William Saliba to injury after five minutes. Noni Madueke forced goalkeeper Alisson into the only meaningful first-half save. Hugo Ekitike had a 61st-minute effort disallowed for an offside involving Cody Gakpo. The win leaves Liverpool top of the Premier League with maximum points, and the match combined for just 1.0 expected goals (Liverpool 0.45, Arsenal 0.55).
