Liverpool edged past Arsenal with a hard-fought 1-0 victory at Anfield on Sunday, as Dominik Szoboszlai’s late winner settled a cagey Premier League clash.
The Hungarian midfielder broke the deadlock in the 83rd minute, unleashing a thunderous free-kick from distance that flew past David Raya and sparked celebrations among the home crowd. The goal proved decisive in a match where both teams largely neutralized each other.
Earlier, Liverpool had a Hugo Ekitike goal ruled out for offside, while Arsenal—missing key figures such as Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Jesus, and Kai Havertz—struggled to generate attacking momentum.
The visitors were dealt an additional blow just four minutes in when William Saliba was forced off with an apparent injury, disrupting their defensive structure.
Despite enjoying spells of possession, Mikel Arteta’s side failed to seriously test Alisson, lacking the cutting edge needed to threaten Liverpool’s goal.
The result bolsters Arne Slot’s strong start at Anfield, extending Liverpool’s impressive home form and pushing them further up the table. For Arsenal, the defeat—coupled with their growing injury list—adds pressure as they seek stability in their title challenge.
