Arne Slot finds new Liverpool undroppable as Richard Hughes targets huge double transferEven at this early stage of a campaign, some victories just feel significant.
And on a day when Manchester City had already lost further ground with defeat at Brighton, Dominik Szoboszlai's moment of genius against Arsenal was enough remind anyone who might have forgotten that it is Liverpool who remain very much the team to beat.
A lot has been spoken about the Premier League champions' start to the season, much of it in negative tones, and while plenty has been fair and even-handed, the discourse has, at times, been out of sync with a team who had actually won their first two fixtures against an intense Bournemouth and a scorned Newcastle United, under the white-hot glare of the St James' Park floodlights, no less.
There have been areas to assess, things to tweak and parts to improve, of course, but as has been so readily pointed out by Arne Slot, the Premier League is now arguably as strong as it has ever been and few games can be navigated successfully at half speed.
This one, of course, was always going to be fixture that required the highest levels of concentration and application and while we are still in August, this 1-0 victory, courtesy of the Szoboszlai stunner, leaves Slot now riding high into the international break as the only unbeaten manager.
There's a reason this lot are champions, despite the early-season critiques.
