Liverpool edged Arsenal 1-0 at Anfield on Sunday, with Dominik Szoboszlai’s late strike proving the difference in a tense Premier League clash.
The Hungarian midfielder settled the contest in the 83rd minute, rifling a long-range free kick beyond David Raya to hand Arne Slot’s men a vital victory.
Both sides had cancelled each other out for most of the encounter.
Liverpool saw an earlier by Hugo Ekitike effort ruled out for offside, while Arsenal, stripped of key players including Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz, struggled to create clear chances in attack.
Mikel Arteta’s men also suffered an early setback when William Saliba limped off after just four minutes, further weakening their defensive shape.
Despite spells of possession, the visitors could not find a breakthrough.
Liverpool’s win extended their strong home form and pushed them further up the table, while Arsenal’s injury-hit squad left Anfield empty-handed, adding pressure as they chase consistency in the title race.
