“Liverpool’s 1-0 win over Arsenal, a contest between last season’s top two — and, judging from Manchester City’s poor start to the campaign, probably this season’s top two as well — was a classic of the genre. Not ‘classic’ because it was a memorable encounter, but ‘classic’ because matches between the two title contenders are often like this: tight, cagey and disappointingly defensive. Those titanic encounters between Pep Guardiola’s City and Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool, which seemed to regularly finish 2-2, were the exception to the rule. For long periods, Arsenal and Liverpool seemed to be playing out a dull goalless draw. It was a track stand of a football match, ahead of 35 further Premier League fixtures. But, put simply, the game was eventually won by the side that did more to win it. Fortune favours the brave. …”
