It wasn't particularly attractive soccer.
However, Liverpool maintained its perfect start to defending its Premier League crown with a victory against its closest challenger, Arsenal, on Sunday.
Here's how England's national press assessed another crucial result for Arne Slot's team.
"Isak is too good a player and Slot too good a manager for that to be an issue.
"If Isak signs for Liverpool on Monday, the rest of the league should be afraid.
"If he doesn't sign, they will know that Slot's team should be good enough to hold off the rest anyway."

Liverpool boss Arne Slot reacts during the Premier League match against Arsenal at Anfield on August 31 2025.
"In a game which was at times, slow, torpid, attritional, Dominik Szoboszlai was the motor which kept on running.
"Just when it seemed that this meeting of the defending champions and formidable challengers was petering out towards a mutually-assured stalemate, Liverpool's unstoppable force delivered an unstoppable free kick, whipped beyond the despairing dive of David Raya, kissing the inside of the post, and providing Arne Slot's team with their third late-snatched win in their first three games of this season."
