Liverpool maintained their 100 per cent Premier League record with a 1-0 win over Arsenal at Anfield<\/a> on Sunday. The clash between last season’s top two was settled by a moment of magic as Dominik Szoboszlai’s<\/a> 30-yard free-kick found the back of the net.<\/p>\n The makeshift right-back’s incredible free-kick beat David Raya in front of the Kop<\/a>, sparking wild celebrations and chants of ‘champions’. And now it appears that Alisson Becker <\/a>played a role in the goal.<\/p>\n In footage that has emerged online, the Liverpool<\/a> goalkeeper can be seen positioning Cody Gakpo<\/a> and Florian Wirtz<\/a> to stand in the wall to block David Raya’s view.<\/p>\n Content cannot be displayed without consent<\/p>\n Speaking after the game, Szoboszlai admitted he would not have taken the set piece had Trent Alexander-Arnold<\/a> stayed at Anfield<\/a>.<\/p>\n He said: “I was confident in myself, I tried it. I should mention Trent because he was taking the free-kicks in the past.<\/p>\n “Finally I could have my chance and I did it. I had to take a risk and shoot a little bit harder because I knew Raya likes to jump behind the ball. He’s an unbelievable goalkeeper. If it goes a bit more inside he saves it.”<\/p>\n Reflecting on the game, Reds boss Arne Slot<\/a> said: “If we play this game 10 times more in the same fashion, then I think it’s eight times a draw, we win it one time and Arsenal wins it one time because it was an uneventful game, which is something sometimes positive as well because both teams were really good in defending.<\/p>\n “But, I think normally Arsenal and us are able to create more chances during a game, but it tells you also something about the structure and the amount of discipline both teams have without the ball.<\/p>\n “Then you need a moment of magic, which we got from Dominik, and that resulted in us winning a game that, like I just said, normally would have ended in a draw.<\/p>\n “But I don’t agree with you on the first game, we totally deserved to win the Bournemouth game, by the way.”<\/p>\n —<\/p>\n For the latest news and breaking news, visit liverpoolecho.co.uk\/all-about\/liverpool-fc<\/a>.
