"Premier League champions Liverpool maintained their perfect start to the season as they overcame Arsenal courtesy of a sumptuous Dominik Szoboszlai free-kick at Anfield. In a game that pitted last season's title winners against the runners-up, it was perhaps unsurprising that it was a moment of magic that ultimately separated the two teams. Szoboszlai, again utilised as a makeshift right-back, provided such a moment, crashing home a wonderful set-piece"
"In the absence of Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard, the Gunners' game plan appeared to be one built upon a fierce intensity without the ball. But it was far from the ideal start for Arteta's men, with William Saliba hobbling off after just four minutes, replaced by 21-year-old Cristhian Mosquera. Coming into the match, Arteta's defence had yet to be breached this term. But Liverpool showed their intention to change that with the game's first real chance coming courtesy of Cody Gakpo."
Liverpool secured a 1-0 victory over Arsenal at Anfield thanks to a stunning Dominik Szoboszlai free-kick from 30 yards, with Szoboszlai again playing as a makeshift right-back. The champions dominated possession but the match remained cagey in the first half, during which Arsenal lost William Saliba to an early injury and played without Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard. Liverpool created early chances through Cody Gakpo while Noni Madueke tested Alisson for Arsenal. The win moves Arne Slot's side to the top of the Premier League table and represents an early-season statement against last season's runners-up.
