Liverpool fans enjoyed a first Premier League win over Arsenal for three seasons on Sunday as they continued their excellent start.
The Reds have not been especially pretty during their opening three games, but have emerged victorious in each of them.
Sunday’s win has the potential to be the most important one yet, with an early marker laid down in the Premier League title race.
There were many other pleasing aspects to Liverpool‘s triumph as well, with one being the presence in the Arsenal team of former transfer target Martin Zubimendi.
Zubimendi turned Liverpool down in the summer of 2024, having made a last-minute change of heart to stay at Real Sociedad.
And having been on the receiving end of a difficult afternoon, Liverpool fans enjoyed every bit of Zubimendi’s visit.

There is little question that Zubimendi is a top player and he would have fitted well into the Liverpool squad.
However, he did not have his best game on Sunday, even giving away the free-kick which Dominik Szoboszlai scored from.

“Gravenberch dominated that midfield today, Zubimendi looked terrible,” one fan said.
“Martin Zubimendi, thank you for rejecting us.
Footballer equivalent of a pot of grey Dulux,” was someone else’s verdict, while one more summed it up by saying: “I’m so glad Zubimendi went to Arsenal.”
