Liverpool came out on top against Arsenal (1-0) in the third round clash of the Premier League 25/26, which pitted last season's champion against the runner-up at Anfield. Viktor Gyokeres - who was called up for the Swedish national team - was in the starting lineup for the London team and played all 90 minutes of the match.
Playing at Anfield, the 'reds' dominated the match, especially in the second half, but Arsenal seemed on track to hold out and return to London with a point. The former Sporting forward had a quiet performance and rarely had chances to make a difference.

In the 83rd minute, Hungarian international Dominik Szoboszlai scored the only goal of the match, with a superb direct free-kick from quite a distance, giving Liverpool the three points, although Arsenal came close to equalizing in the final moments.
Arne Slot's team thus remains 100% victorious in the competition, with nine points, alongside Chelsea, the only other team that still only knows victory after three rounds. Arsenal, who also had two wins in the first two rounds, remains with the same six points.
After a brilliant season with the lions, Viktor Gyokeres - valued at 75 million euros - has played three games for Arsenal, all in the Premier League. In the 240 minutes he has worn the Gunners' jersey, the Swede has already scored two goals, both against Leeds.
