Dominik Szoboszlai's exceptional free-kick secured a crucial 1-0 victory for Liverpool against Arsenal at Anfield in a Premier League match on August 31, 2025. Playing at right-back, Szoboszlai delivered a stunning curling shot from over 30 yards out that found the top corner of the goal with seven minutes left in the game, breaking the deadlock in an otherwise tightly contested match.

The game was a hard-fought affair, with few clear chances in the first half, but Liverpool grew increasingly dominant in the second period. Szoboszlai's goal was a well-deserved reward for the champions, who improved their Premier League start by taking nine points from their first three matches of the season. This win positioned them favorably at the top of the league as they head into the September international break.

Liverpool manager Arne Slot made only one change to the starting lineup from their previous match, introducing Alexis Mac Allister for Curtis Jones. The Reds' lineup featured key players such as Alisson, Van Dijk, Konate, and Mohamed Salah alongside Szoboszlai, whose performance was praised for both his defensive and offensive contributions throughout the match.



On the other side, Arsenal introduced new signing Eberechi Eze as a substitute during the game, but the debutant could not influence the outcome decisively. The result highlighted Liverpool's defensive solidity and ability to capitalize on moments of individual brilliance, reinforcing their status as title contenders in the early stages of the season.

Video coverage from Liverpool FC showcased every angle of Szoboszlai's breathtaking free-kick, celebrating the skill and precision behind the match-winning moment.
