The concerning Liverpool dilemma exposed by Arsenal’s Anfield victory

Arsenal secured a 1-0 victory at Anfield on Sunday, holding the hosts without a single shot on target for the first time in a Premier League home fixture since tracking began in the 2003-04 campaign. Despite taking 17 total attempts, the home side lacked quality in the final third, registering a combined expected goals figure of just 1.15 while failing to capitalize on Florian Wirtz's free kick striking the crossbar and Alexis Mac Allister's missed header.

Manager Andoni Iraola's squad also voiced complaints regarding a penalty non-call involving Jurrien Timber and Alexander Isak, though they ultimately handed the decisive goal to their opponents via a turnover. The defeat highlighted ongoing struggles for several marquee acquisitions, with Wirtz still seeking his first domestic goal of the season alongside fellow high-priced forwards.
