The Reds' 1-0 victory at Anfield was a result of Dominik Szoboszlai's stunning free kick in the 83rd minute. This win gives Liverpool a perfect record after their first three games, including victories over Bournemouth, Newcastle United, and now Arsenal.

Arsenal, who spent 260 million pounds in the close season to try and dethrone Liverpool, suffered their first defeat of the campaign.

Slot praised his team's mentality, saying, "I'm most pleased with the team's mentality. We've had to bring quite a lot of new players in. And then you have to start the season against Bournemouth and then Newcastle away, and then to play Arsenal at home, which is definitely one of the three or four most difficult games of the season... and already doing what we are doing."

Slot acknowledged that Liverpool is not a perfect team but emphasized their drive and work ethic. He believes that their hard work has earned them the win.

Slot also praised Hungarian international Szoboszlai, who played in an unexpected right-back role. He said, "He understands what a Liverpool player should look like. If you wear this shirt, you should give everything, no matter in what position you play."

The game was not a classic, with few proper chances created by either side. However, Szoboszlai's moment of magic and Anfield's raucous fans made the game memorable.

Slot said, "If we play this game 10 times more in the same fashion, then I think it's eight times a draw. We win it one time, and Arsenal win it one time, because it was an uneventful game, which is something sometimes positive as well, because both teams were really good in defending."
