""He [Saliba] twisted his ankle during the warm-up," Arteta told reporters. "He came in and believed he could carry on, but from his first two actions you could see he couldn't cope, so we took him out. We had to put [Cristhian] Mosquera on and it was a big test for him at Anfield, but he had a great debut.""
""You cannot dominate here for 90 minutes, it is impossible," Arteta said. "At the end of the game, I said we have to find a way to win these big matches. You have to put the ball in the back of the net when you have it. We were much better than last year, much better, but we have to put the ball in the back of the net if you want to win the game.""
William Saliba twisted his ankle in the warm-up and started the match but was substituted after five minutes due to inability to cope with play. Cristhian Mosquera replaced him and delivered a strong debut at Anfield. Dominik Szoboszlai's 83rd-minute free-kick secured a 1-0 victory for Liverpool, moving the champions two points clear. Arsenal controlled the game without creating clear chances and ended their 100% start. The squad now faces mounting fitness concerns with Bukayo Saka and Kai Havertz already sidelined, and the team needs to find ways to score in big matches.
