Szoboszlai’s Late Strike Seals Liverpool Win Over Arsenal at Anfield

Liverpool claimed a crucial 1-0 victory over Arsenal at Anfield on Sunday, with Dominik Szoboszlai’s late goal proving decisive in a tense Premier League encounter.

The Hungarian midfielder broke the deadlock in the 83rd minute, unleashing a powerful free kick from distance that flew past goalkeeper David Raya, handing manager Arne Slot’s side all three points.

For much of the game, both teams canceled each other out, with Liverpool’s Hugo Ekitike seeing an earlier effort ruled out for offside. Arsenal, hampered by the absence of key players Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz, struggled to carve out clear opportunities in the final third.

Mikel Arteta’s men were dealt an additional blow when defender William Saliba limped off just four minutes into the contest, forcing the Gunners into an early reshuffle at the back. Despite periods of possession, Arsenal failed to trouble Liverpool’s defense.

The result extended Liverpool’s impressive home form and boosted their position in the table, while Arsenal’s injury-hit squad departed Anfield empty-handed, piling more pressure on their bid for consistency in the title race.
