With this victory, the Reds remain the only team in the League to have won all three matches at the start of the season.

The key to success has been Soboslai's new role, which has proved decisive for Liverpool this season, even after Trent Alexander-Arnold's move to Real Madrid. Combining a new tactic with record spending of £446 million, it is no surprise that Liverpool is seen as the favorite for the title.

Tactical Side of the Game

Slot noted that 'if the match were repeated ten times, eight would end in a draw.' The tactical battle between the teams was a result of Arsenal not showing courage, while Liverpool played at their level.

Soboslai constantly found himself in the right place at the right time, reacting to Arsenal's mistakes. 'It's not only displays of talent but also tactical mastery,' noted Slot.

Solid Defense of Liverpool

Virgil van Dijk showcased excellent play, which was a key element of the team's success. His decisions on the field were always tactical, and he displayed impressive skills in defense.

Key Figures and Statistics

Besides Soboslai, it’s worth mentioning Brazilian Milos Kerkesz, who also became one of the best players of the match.

Statistics show that he executed more actions than before, gaining the trust of the fans.

Arsenal's Issues

Arsenal tried to find their game but faced difficulties creating attacks. It should be noted that Declan Rice often played in deeper positions, losing his attacking role.

Arteta's Wrong Decisions

Speaking of the lineup, it is worth noting that the absence of Eberechi Eze from the start of the match could be a problem. When he appeared on the pitch, Arsenal's play became more dangerous.

Thus, Liverpool continues its chances for the championship, while Arsenal will have plenty to improve their game before the next matches.
