Dominik Szoboszlai’s sensational free-kick stuns Arsenal to send Liverpool top of the table
Dominik Szoboszlai scored a stunning free-kick to earn Liverpool a 1-0 win over Arsenal at Anfield and send the reigning champions to the top of the Premier League table.
The Gunners had the better of a first half short on clear-cut chances but Arne Slot’s side stepped things up when attacking the Kop after the interval and got their reward through the tireless Hungarian, who played the game out of position at right-back.
Liverpool are now the only team with a perfect record in the Premier League this season, moving ahead of Chelsea at the top, while Mikel Arteta’s men lose their own unbeaten record having suffered their first defeat against the ‘big six’ in 23 matches.
Arsenal were unfortunate in some respects. Already without Bukayo Saka, they suffered the early setback of seeing William Saliba go off injured, but produced a typically composed performance in the first half, in which they nullified the champions.
Although Viktor Gyokeres struggled to get into it, Noni Madueke caused problems for Milos Kerkez and forced the only save of note in the first half. At that stage, they appeared to be making good on Arteta’s claim that they had come to Anfield to win.
