Liverpool achieved an important victory over their guest Arsenal with a score of 1-0 in the match held this evening at Anfield, as part of the third round of the English Premier League for the 2025/2026 season. With this victory, the Reds strengthened their position at the top of the standings with 9 points, having won all their matches so far.

After the match, Dutch manager Arne Slot revealed the secret behind the victory and the defensive control that enabled them to achieve success in today's encounter.

Slot said: "We were able to defend strongly and effectively against the set pieces that Arsenal relied on, and in the end, we secured the match with a set piece goal."

He added: "Dominik Szoboszlai was a standout player today, whether playing as a right winger, a full-back, or as a number 10; he delivered his best performance."

He continued: "We took advice from Jamie Carragher after the Bournemouth match, which exposed our defense, so we decided to make today's match dull from an attacking perspective for the opponent."

He affirmed: "Winning against Arsenal holds great value, although we will not know its true worth until the end of the season approaches."

He went on: "Ibrahima Konaté's injury is not concerning, just a minor muscle strain."

He indicated: "We are currently working on strengthening the team with new signings before the transfer window closes, but if we can't do that, I am completely satisfied with the current squad."

This victory comes as an important step for Liverpool at the beginning of their journey in the new season, with a clear ambition to continue excelling in the competition for the Premier League title.
