Arsenal’s unbeaten start to the Premier League season came to an end on Sunday as Liverpool secured a 1-0 victory at Anfield.
Dominik Szoboszlai struck the decisive goal in the 83rd minute, curling a stunning free-kick beyond goalkeeper David Raya after Curtis Jones had been fouled by Martin Zubimendi.
The Gunners had begun brightly, with Viktor Gyokeres and Gabriel Martinelli pressing Liverpool back, but Jurgen Klopp’s side grew into the game after the break. Mohamed Salah and Cody Gakpo created openings before Szoboszlai’s moment of brilliance settled the contest.
Mikel Arteta introduced Martin Odegaard and Eberechi Eze in search of an equaliser, yet Liverpool’s defence, marshalled by Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate, stood firm. Alisson Becker also made key interventions late on to preserve the lead.
Arsenal threatened in stoppage time when Riccardo Calafiori’s long throw caused panic in the Liverpool box, but the home side held on to claim maximum points.
