Though arne slot

Though Arne Slot: Dominik Szoboszlai's stunning late free-kick kept Liverpool’s perfect start to the 2025/26 Premier League season intact, sealing a hard-fought 1-0 win over title contenders Arsenal at Anfield on Sunday.

In a clash between last season’s top two sides -both defending flawless records - it was always likely to be decided by fine margins. That moment of brilliance arrived in the 83rd minute, when Szoboszlai unleashed a curling effort from over 30 yards out, bending the ball past David Raya and in off the post to spark wild celebrations at the Kop end.

Arsenal came into the game understrength, missing Bukayo Saka due to a hamstring injury and choosing to bench captain Martin Odegaard. Their problems worsened just five minutes in, when key defender William Saliba limped off and was replaced by Cristhian Mosquera. Despite the disruption, Mikel Arteta’s side managed to frustrate Liverpool for large stretches.
