Liverpool Back on Top: Thrilling Win Over Arsenal Seals the Moment

A Special Night as Liverpool Return to the Top

On Sunday (August 31), Anfield witnessed a dramatic clash where Liverpool edged Arsenal 1-0, climbing to the top of the Premier League table. The decisive moment came in the 83rd minute when Dominik Szoboszlai struck a sensational free-kick that left Arsenal helpless, despite goalkeeper Alisson Becker’s sharp awareness throughout the match.

The first half produced plenty of excitement—most notably a powerful strike from Noni Madueke, denied by Alisson—but both sides went into the break goalless. The turning point arrived in the second half after William Saliba was forced off, leaving Arsenal’s defense vulnerable. Liverpool capitalized on that weakness, and Szoboszlai’s set-piece brilliance sealed the game.

With this victory, Liverpool stand tall with three wins in three games, collecting 9 points to lead the table, while Arsenal sit in third with 6 points.
