Hungarian International struck the winner from 32 yards in the 83rd minute. This is because Arne Slot’s team maintained a 100% victory record at the start of this season.
The champions heading for the international break in September are currently at the top of the league table, with Chelsea in second place and Crystal Palace in eighth place, with the only other team still undefeated.
Arsenal keeper Raya called Sobozillai’s goal “hell of strikes,” but pointed out that he was unfamiliar with the play in the new Puma balls brought in at the start of the campaign after 25 years of balls produced by Nike.
“I haven’t seen it yet (the goal) yet,” Raya told Sky Sports. “(I’m disappointed that (I) don’t save it like every goal you’ve admitted. I think it’s a hell of strikes. I remember the ball moved a lot and left me. Hopefully, I can save.
“It’s a very good strike, especially with the new ball and everything. We still have to adapt. It’s far from me, so it’s hard to measure and store it.
“It’s different from Nikeball, so we need to adapt to it. The grips are different, the kicks are different. You need to adapt after playing with Nikeball for many years. That’s the same for everyone.”

Gunners have avoided a league defeat to the traditional “Big 6” team over the past two seasons.
And finally, Arteta saw his team losing to Liverpool in March 2022.
However, Raya chose to take a positive one as the run ended on Sunday, claiming that “fine margins” determined the outcome.
“We wanted to attack them and move forward to keep them quiet in the first half,” Raya said. “We showed a lot of characters to keep Liverpool quiet. You have to take something positive from that. It’s a great margin and a magical moment from them.
“We haven’t been beaten by the top six clubs in many games. There’s a lot of progress to take and learn in every aspect. There’s always something you have to learn.”
However, Arteta admitted he was “very disappointed” that he ended up on the losing side and denounced his side’s finish for defeat.
“I was very disappointed with the outcome. I think we’ve raised the game to a point where it dominates the game with some of the games. That’s very difficult to do here at Anfield,” Arteta told the BBC.
“They created an incredible magical moment to win the game. When it’s edge and it’s not him (szoboszlai), it’s Sarah or someone else.
“It’s very clear that the advantage and the way you play the game require you to finish the moment to win the game. That’s execution.”
