Dominik Szoboszlai’s thumping long-range free kick earned Liverpool a vital 1–0 victory over Premier League title rivals Arsenal at Anfield on Sunday afternoon.

Unsurprisingly after several uncertain defensive displays, Liverpool were eager to compose themselves in the opening exchanges and avoid offering their visitors any encouragement.
