Szoboszlai took risk to shine in Alexander-Arnold's absence
Liverpool's Dominik Szoboszlai said he "finally had his chance" to show his ability from free-kicks after scoring a stunning winner to beat Arsenal 1-0 in Sunday's clash between the Premier League title favourites.
The Hungarian found himself behind Trent Alexander-Arnold and Mohamed Salah on set-piece duty during his first two years at Anfield.
But after Alexander-Arnold's departure to Real Madrid, Szoboszlai took charge with a long range effort to score the first and only goal Arsenal have conceded so far this season.
"I took a risk. I was confident in myself, so I tried it and finally (I scored from a free-kick)", Szoboszlai told Sky Sports.
"I should mention Trent. He was taking the free kicks because, obviously, he has an unbelievable shot. But finally I could have my chance and I did it.
"I had to take a risk and shoot it a little bit harder because I know (David) Raya likes to jump behind the wall and, of course, he's an unbelievable goalkeeper. So if I think it goes a little bit more inside, he saves it."
Szoboszlai's strike edged a cagey game in Liverpool's favour as they became the only side to win their first three games of the new Premier League season.
Defeat was Arsenal's first against Liverpool, Manchester City, Chelsea, Manchester United or Tottenham since April 2023.
The Gunners sit third in the table, behind second-placed Chelsea.
