Both teams seemed to play very carefully, they didn't attack much and just tried to defend until the end to at least get 1 point each, but Liverpool was smart enough to take advantage of the momentum and managed to score 1 goal in the final minutes, making it difficult for Arsenal to equalize with little time remaining, even though Arsenal lost, at least I still think Arsenal is strong, but Liverpool looks more ready to achieve every victory which they will go through in the next matches, so a win over Arsenal is very valuable for Liverpool.
It's natural that they played more cautiously considering they are two title contenders and although the match was quite boring for me personally, honestly because I was hoping they would exchange goals but yes, it must also be admitted that their match today has shown that they are ready to compete tightly this season, luckily Liverpool took advantage of that moment and as the host they can go home with joy this result also takes them to the top of the standings temporarily.
You attribute the winning of Liverpool to luck but Arne Slot says something different from that. According to him, even if they play the match eight times, Liverpool will still win. Even though this may appear like big talks, the results says otherwise because I never expected Liverpool to win the match. Arsenal was my favourite to win, the had the best time in the premier league this season, so I was disappointed that they did not even score one goal.
If Arsenal didn't take time, it would be a disappointing season for them for the fourth time. Losing and drawing a match is not the way forward, as it is expected of them to break the barrier of lifting the Premier League trophy, as it has been 22 years since the last time it was lifted (2003/2024).

On that note, Arteta really has to strategize on how would make the dream become a reality of championing the English league with the quality players available at his disposal to avoid being replaced by someone else as Arsenal coach because teams need results. They wouldn't like to stay behind when it's about securing a trophy at the end of each season
