Liverpool secured a win in the early title race with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Arsenal at Anfield, thanks to a moment of brilliance from Dominik Szoboszlai free kick.
Liverpool controlled possession but struggled to carve out clear chances, while Arsenal looked hesitant at the back and missed the influence of Bukayo Saka, who was sidelined through injury.
Noni Madueke provided Arsenal’s brightest spark, troubling Liverpool’s defense and Alisson on several occasions, while Hugo Ekitike saw a goal ruled out for offside after a series of deflections.

Furthermore, the breakthrough finally came in the 78th minute. Awarded a free kick some 30 yards from goal, Szoboszlai unleashed a thunderbolt that left David Raya rooted to the spot and sent Anfield into raptures. It was a strike worthy of settling any contest, and it did just that.
Arsenal pushed late on in search of an equalizer, but Liverpool stood firm, roared on by their supporters, and held out to claim all three points. The result keeps Arne Slot’s side at the forefront of the early title conversation, while Mikel Arteta will be left to reflect on what might have been.
For Liverpool, it was a statement victory in front of their home crowd. For Arsenal, a reminder that in matches of this magnitude, the smallest margins can prove decisive.
In conclusion, Arsenal is now needed. Focus on the next game against Nottingham Forest at Emirates Stadium after the international break.
