For a heavyweight conflict the sport was pretty unremarkable, Arsenal shading the primary half – the reds the way more potent within the second – and it was makeshift proper again Dominik Szoboszlai who got here up with an actual match-winner to take all of the factors.
Alexis Mac Allister changed Curtis Jones in Liverpool’s solely change since Monday evening on Tyneside – and with Bradley not fairly absolutely match – Szoboszlai another occupied the fitting again berth. His passing vary was distinctive – to not point out his monitoring again and defending.
Gifted gamers can play wherever – and the Hungarian captain is a type of such gamers.
Arsenal had loads of corners – their key mode of targets however Konate and van Dijk seemed way more strong. Even when an injured Konate made method in a while for Gomez, the reds quantity two was a greater than ample substitute – offering key nicely timed challenges to make sure the reds noticed out the sport.
Ekitike thought he had scored within the second half however replays confirmed the offside choice after a cross was primarily bundled in from a scramble on the six yard field.
Curtis Jones, on for Mac Allister, was introduced down by one time Liverpool goal Zubimendi and Szoboszlai relished the chance. It appeared too far out however the pretend wall did it is job, and boy did Dom do his job too – into the highest nook off the submit, centimetres away from the diving David Raya.
Arsenal then tried to up the ante however that they had left it too late to throw the kitchen sink on the reds and the exploits of Chiesa and Endo helped see out the sport as they took the sting out of the Arsenal risk.
The reds haven’t been on hearth, however they’ve collected three wins and their first clear sheet in 13 video games (together with friendlies).
They head into the worldwide break, and the ultimate day of the switch window, with some appreciable confidence.
Issues for the reds are prone to be Konate and Wirtz who had been each compelled off with suspected knocks.
Three wins from three – excellent begin redmen.
