In a game where nether side showed much offensive threat, the difference was a spectacular free kick in the 83rd minute from Szoboszlai from thirty-some yards out. It kissed the left upright a foot or so under the crossbar; Raya was unable to get more than a fingertip on it. Both teams lost important players: Saliba came off in the sixth minute, and Konate came off late. It didn't look good for either central defender. Wirtz also went down for Liverpool.
I have to say that the home side played better and deserved the win. It will take Arsenal a while to integrate the new guys properly, and they will have to, with all the injuries. It's back to the drawing board for Arteta. It does not ghet much easier after the international break.
