Defending Premier League champions Liverpool<\/strong> kept their winning streak alive with a dramatic late goal against Arsenal<\/strong>, last season\u2019s closest challengers. The Anfield showdown had all the ingredients of a title-race classic \u2014 tension, missed opportunities, tactical chess, and finally, a moment of magic that left the Kop roaring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Arsenal, this was a painful return to reality. Not only did they lose their unbeaten start to the season, but they also conceded their first goal of the campaign, ending a six-match unbeaten streak against Liverpool in head-to-head matches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Early Drama: Saliba\u2019s Injury Blow<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The game began with an early setback for the Gunners as William Saliba limped off in the fifth minute<\/strong>. Despite that disruption, Arsenal quickly created the first real chance when Noni Madueke<\/strong> forced Alisson Becker<\/strong> into a sharp save.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Liverpool, however, remained composed. They pressed intelligently and punished Arsenal\u2019s mistakes, particularly when David Raya<\/strong>\u2019s misjudged pass allowed Virgil van Dijk<\/strong> to pounce \u2014 though no goal came from that moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Midfield Battles and Disallowed Joy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With Arsenal boasting an impressive record of 33 corner goals since the start of the 2023\/24 season, the visitors attempted<\/strong> to dominate set pieces. But Liverpool\u2019s defensive organisation stood firm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the hour mark, Liverpool thought they had the breakthrough when Hugo Ekitike<\/strong> bundled the ball home after Raya spilled a shot from Florian Wirtz<\/strong>. Anfield erupted, only for the celebrations to be cut short by the offside flag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Decisive Moment: Szoboszlai\u2019s Free-Kick Magic<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The game seemed destined for a draw until Dominik Szoboszlai<\/strong> stepped up in the dying moments. With a perfectly struck free-kick, he curled the ball beyond Raya\u2019s outstretched glove, sending the home crowd into a frenzy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That wonder strike not only secured the win but also set a club record of 37 consecutive Premier League games with a goal<\/strong>. Liverpool remains perfect this season, tightening their grip on the top spot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
