Liverpool 1-0 Arsenal, Sobo World Po shocked four players, the comparison of the two strengths shows the truth

In the third round of the Premier League, Liverpool beat Arsenal 1-0 at Anfield Stadium. This game also has an important impact on the Premier League championship competition this season. Liverpool won three consecutive victories and topped the Premier League standings with Sobosloy's free kick world wave in the 82nd minute. Currently, Liverpool leads the standings with 9 points, and the team is also the only team that maintains a winning streak in the league. The second place is Chelsea with 2 wins and 1 draw, while Arsenal and Tottenham rank third and fourth in 2 wins and 1 loss. Manchester United ranked 9th with 1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss, while Manchester City ranked 13th with 1 win, 2 losses.

Arsenal started the game with a bad start. In the 5th minute, Arsenal's defensive core Saliba was injured while competing for a header in the backcourt. Although he tried to persist, he was soon replaced by Moscarra because he could not continue the game. This emergencies disrupted Arsenal's defensive deployment. As a key figure in Arsenal's defense, Saliba's absence had a significant impact on the stability of the team's defense line.

The two teams each had good offensive opportunities in the first half, but unfortunately they both scored goals. The second half was still restricted, until the 82nd minute, when Liverpool got a chance to set the ball in the middle. Sobosloy took the penalty, and he directly chose to shoot. The ball drew a wonderful arc and slapped straight into the dead corner of the goal. This wonderful free kick world wave not only showed Sobosloy's outstanding footwork, but also became the winner of the game.

Except for Saliba's injury at the beginning, both sides encountered injuries during the game. In the 77th minute, Liverpool's Connate couldn't stand the injury and was replaced by Gomez. In the 89th minute, Arsenal's Wiltz was also replaced due to injury. Frequent injuries not only disrupted the personnel arrangements of the two teams, but also affected the rhythm and tactical execution of the game to a certain extent. In the game, both sides created many threatening offensive opportunities. In the 12th minute, Gakepo took the ball from the left and cut in to the top of the arc and shot from the long shot to miss it; in the 20th minute, Maduaike received a long pass from the right and broke through to the penalty area, but was released by Kolkz. In the 21st minute, Arsenal took a corner kick from the right and went to the penalty area, and Maduaike's shot was saved by Allison. In the 32nd minute, Raya made a mistake in the backcourt and was intercepted by Van Dijk, and then Werz shot from the top of the arc and was blocked.

The same is true in the second half. In the 51st minute, Heraffenberg suddenly made a long-range shot from the right and missed it; in the 59th minute, McAllister made a straight pass from the middle, Werz turned around and shot but was saved by Raya, and Ekitic scored a goal but was judged invalid due to offside first; in the 65th minute, Gakepo took the ball from the left and cut into the penalty area and shot too well, but Raya confiscated. The emergence of these opportunities shows that both teams have positive performances on the offensive end, but there is still room for improvement in their ability to grasp in front of the goal.

In this game, goalkeepers Alison and Raya both performed well. Allison made key saves many times, especially when Arsenal Maduaike's volley, he quickly saved the ball, trying to save Liverpool's goal. Raya also performed steadily, resolving Liverpool's threatening offenses many times, such as saving Wilz's shot and confiscating Gakebo's volley. The goalkeeper's outstanding performance also made the game's score stalemate to a certain extent until Sobosloy's world wave broke the deadlock.

From the perspective of the whole game, Liverpool showed enough patience on the offensive end. They look for loopholes in Arsenal's defense by constantly passing and running. Although they failed to score early in their regular offenses, they always put pressure on Arsenal's defense. Liverpool did a great job in setting pieces. Sobosloy's direct free kick was a reflection of the success of the set-piece tactics. The team showed a high level in the arrangement of the set-piece and the execution of the players. On the defensive end, Liverpool's defense line performed stably overall, and players such as Van Dijk have very well limited Arsenal's offense. Although Arsenal created some opportunities, Liverpool's defense line did not make fatal mistakes.

Arsenal was passive at the opening due to Saliba's injury. On the offensive end, although the team has created some opportunities, it lacks coherence overall. The players did not cooperate tacitly enough, and they made mistakes in the third section of the offensive repeatedly, resulting in the interruption of the offense. In defense, due to Saliba's early departure, the newly replaced Moscarra needs time to adapt to the rhythm of the game, which has caused loopholes in Arsenal's defense to be in some periods. Although the team tried hard to adjust during the game, it still failed to find an effective way to break through Liverpool's defense.

Arsenal needs to summarize lessons in subsequent games, especially in terms of improvements in players' injury response, improved offensive efficiency and enhanced defensive stability, in order to return to the championship track. Arsenal will play Nottingham Forest in the third round of the Premier League early Saturday, Tottenham Hotspur away against West Ham in the early morning of September 14, Chelsea played away against Brentford at 3 a.m. on the same day, Liverpool played away against Burnley at 21 a.m. on September 14, and Manchester City's game against Manchester United is the highlight and will start at 23:30 p.m. on January 14.
