Szoboszlai's patience awarded with a breathtaking free-kick, leaving Arsenal stunned
In an exciting turn of events at Anfield, Dominik Szoboszlai scored a spectacular winning goal for Liverpool against Arsenal in the Premier League. The goal, which came from a direct free-kick, was a moment of individual quality that Liverpool's boss, Arne Slot, had anticipated.
The goal, struck from a distance of 32.2 yards, was the latest winning goal from a direct free-kick in the Premier League for Liverpool since August 2007. It surpassed any other goal this season in terms of distance. Szoboszlai's goal came after Trent Alexander-Arnold, a previous free-kick taker for Liverpool, left the club to join Real Madrid in June.
The match between Liverpool and Arsenal was relatively uneventful, with both teams considering it equal. However, in the 83rd minute, Szoboszlai seized his opportunity to take a free-kick, a decision he had been patiently waiting for. He mentioned Trent Alexander-Arnold as a previous free-kick taker but stated that he had his chance this time.
Szoboszlai's shot went over the Gunners' wall and in off the post, securing a 1-0 victory for Liverpool. The goal ensured that they entered the international break as the only Premier League team on maximum points.
Ibrahima Konate, a Liverpool player, got injured late in Sunday's match, but Joe Gomez and Curtis Jones came in as substitutes, indicating that Liverpool already have a strong squad.
Liverpool are considering strengthening their squad before the transfer deadline, particularly in the pursuit of Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi. Slot mentioned that any potential signings would depend on 'the right money and the right player'. However, he did not provide an update on either the potential signing of Marc Guehi or Alexander Isak, Newcastle United's striker, who remains a target for Liverpool.
Slot also expressed uncertainty about any signings happening before the transfer deadline, stating that any decisions would be based on finding the right players to strengthen the team.
Despite the injury to Konate, Liverpool felt they had the upper hand in the second half of the match. As the international break begins, Liverpool fans will be hoping for a successful return of their key players and continued success in the Premier League.
