Liverpool 1-0 Arsenal (Szoboszlai 83’)

Dominik Szoboszlai’s stunning free-kick helped Liverpool lay down an early marker against fellow Premier League title contenders Arsenal.

Arsenal had already been dealt an early blow when William Saliba hobbled off inside five minutes, but they initially weathered this setback as Liverpool looked the more subdued in the first half.

The hosts failed to record a shot on target, while Arsenal managed just one, making for a second half that could only get better.

“Liverpool can’t be any worse,” Roy Keane said on Sky Sports at half-time, while Jamie Carragher said “the game is there for Arsenal”.

After the break, Liverpool had a goal ruled out on the hour-mark with Hugo Ekitike offside and went on to dominate the final stages of the match.
