Dominik Szoboszlai's sublime strike in the 83rd minute proved to be the difference as Liverpool beat Arsenal 1-0 at home on Sunday to extend their perfect start to the Premier League season to 12 points.

The 24-year-old Hungarian midfielder scored a sensational solo goal, slicing open the Arsenal defense after collecting the ball deep in his own half. Szoboszlai's mazy run left Arsenal defenders in his wake before he fired past Aaron Ramsdale to send the Anfield crowd into raptures.

It was a goal befitting of deciding such a tight, tense affair that lacked the fireworks many had anticipated from two attacking-minded sides. Liverpool dominated possession (54%) but managed just one shot more than their opponents (11).

The result means that Liverpool remain the only team in England's top flight with a 100% record, as Mikel Arteta's Arsenal slip to fourth, having now played three away games on the bounce to open their campaign.

With this result, Liverpool extends their winning streak to seven consecutive games across all competitions, a promising sign ahead of this week's away Champions League group stage match against Napoli.

While Arsenal will look to respond quickly with a North London Derby at home against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.

Speaking after the game, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp told reporters he was relieved to see his side's perseverance pay off. "I thought we deserved the win, we created enough chances in the second half, and when you get a goal, it's even better. You could see how much intensity we could play with, and that helped."

Meanwhile, Arteta noted that his side lacked precision in the final third and were punished for a rare defensive error. "We had some really good moments, but when we got into good positions, we missed the last pass," he said.

"They got the goal from one mistake, and we didn't take our chances when the game was there for us."

The Gunners will hope Szoboszlai's magical winner is a sign of things to come in what looks set to be a thrilling 35th Premier League campaign.
