Update:
Dominik Szoboszlai scored a spectacular free kick when Liverpool edged Arsenal 1-0 at Anfield on Sunday, 31 August. The Gunners suffered their first defeat of the season at the hands of the defending champions on matchday three of the 2025/26 Premier League.
Szoboszlai gave the Arsenal goalkeeper no chance with his perfectly executed free kick into the left post from a distance in the 83rd minute of the thrilling encounter. His goal was enough to end Arsenal’s perfect start to the new campaign.
