Liverpool managed to extend their perfect run in the Premier League after they beat Arsenal 1-0 on Sunday evening.
Dominik Szoboszlai’s stunning free-kick was the difference-maker in the game on Sunday, with his 32-yard strike one of the best goals of the weekend.
The midfielder was once again played out of his normal position, with Slot choosing to use him at right-back over the likes of Joe Gomez and Conor Bradley.
In the 97th minute of the game, Arsenal had a corner, and as the ball was whipped in, it came down and landed on the top of the Hungary international’s arm.

The midfielder’s arm wasn’t in an unnatural position with VAR even waving the moment on; however, Rio Ferdinand believes that if a Manchester United player had done that, Arsenal would have been given a penalty.
“Szoboszlai handball, that looks like a handball to me,” he said while live on his YouTube channel.
“That’s handball, if that’s Old Trafford that handball, lucky man, Szoboszlai got lucky.”
Even though Szoboszlai has been played out of his normal position for Liverpool’s last two games, he’s still been one of their best players.
