After an intense battle for more than 80 minutes, Curtis Jones was brought down by Martin Zubimendi with a poor challenge near the penalty box. The Gunners midfielder was cautioned with a yellow card while the hosts were awarded a free-kick. Nearly 25 yards from goal, Szoboszlai unleashed a pile-driver which hit the post and went in.

The Reds fans were understandably elated with Szoboszlai's late winner as they hailed the Hungarian for his effort in the club's win.
A fan named niran wrote: "SZOBOSZLAI BEST FREE KICK TAKING RIGHT BACK IN THE WORLD."
Canadian Kop posted: "Szoboszlai has become the first player on the team sheet. He’s in full peak right now & he’s boss as a RB or a midfield hybrid. Better that Trent."
Jordan Patu wrote: "Szoboszlai put that headband on and gained +10 all attributes."
A Reds fan handle named Ammaar wrote: "That Szoboszlai goal is exactly why these will win the league again. They just get goals from nowhere. Arsenal don’t have that in their locker."

THE BIGGER PICTURE
The Gunners suffered an early setback in the match as William Saliba was forced off in the fifth minute with an injury. They were already missing first-team stars like Martin Odegaard and Bukayo Saka and Saliba's knock came as an additional setback. Despite the Frenchman's absence, Arsenal did well defensively, but Szoboszlai's late strike proved to be the decisive factor.
