Liverpool defeated title rivals Arsenal 1-0 at Anfield on Sunday thanks to Dominik Szoboszlai’s brilliant free-kick.
With seven minutes left, Szoboszlai curled a sublime set-piece past David Raya at Arsenal’s Anfield to tussle with the two premier league leaders competing for the title.
As Arsenal lost for the first time this season following consecutive victories, the Hungary midfielder’s gem was enough to earn them a third successive league win.

Since the end of the season, the two teams have been fighting for expensive weapons since Arsenal finished second overall behind Liverpool last year.
At both Anfield and the Emirates Stadium, a number of well-known signings have been made in an effort to shift the balance of power.
On Sunday, Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike, Martin Zubimendi, and Viktor Gyokeres from Liverpool and Arsenal, respectively, had a chance to shine in public.
None of the newcomers surprised. The moment was crucial for Szoboszlai, who was deployed out of position at right-back.
25 yards from goal, Zubimendi fouled Curtis Jones, and Szoboszlai delivered a masterful finish.
As they aspire to their record-breaking 21st English title, Liverpool, who have the only 100% record remaining, will enter the international break in a familiar position at the top of the table.
After a result that suggested their effort to end a run of three successive second-place finishes is still a work in progress, Arsenal must lick their wounds.
Erling Haaland scored his 88th goal for the City in the Premier League earlier that day at the Amex Stadium, marking his 100th appearance there since joining Borussia Dortmund in 2022.
