Szoboszlai said Liverpool will continue to move forward with confidence.


Liverpool, nicknamed "The Reds," missed several scoring opportunities in a key match of the 21st round of the 2025/26 Premier League season, ultimately drawing 0-0 with Arsenal, nicknamed "The Gunners." Despite failing to secure all three points, Hungarian star Szoboszlai stated that Liverpool will remain confident in the challenges ahead.


In the 27th minute, Conor Bradley's pass was cleared by Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya. Bradley then got the ball and attempted a chip shot, but the ball hit the post.


In the 80th minute, Szoboszlai was tripped by Jesus near the edge of the penalty area while attempting to receive a pass from Hrafinberg, resulting in a free kick for Liverpool. Szoboszlai then took the free kick, but his shot went over the post.


In the 90th minute, Arsenal launched a counter-attack with a cross, and Jesus headed the ball towards goal from the penalty area, but Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson made the save. In stoppage time of the second half, Martinelli received the ball, broke through the defense, and fired a shot, but Alisson dived to collect it.


Liverpool ultimately drew 0-0 with Arsenal away from home. After three consecutive draws, Liverpool currently sits in fourth place in the standings with 35 points, two points ahead of fifth-placed Brentford.


Liverpool midfielder Szoboszlai said in an interview: "We played against an incredible team, but I think today we proved again why we were the champions last season. I think this is progress after the last few weeks. We showed again that we can compete even against the top team in the league. This performance will give us confidence for the next few weeks, and we will continue to move forward."


"To be honest, every game in the Premier League requires hard work, because you have to put in the effort to get results, and I think everyone in us showed that. From now on, no one can say that our team isn't working hard enough. We must keep moving forward and work as hard as we did today every week."


Szoboszlai pointed out, "I think we created some chances in the first half and controlled possession for a period of time. Of course, it's not easy playing against top teams here. I don't think any team in the Premier League wants to keep running off the ball, especially when two such high-caliber teams are playing each other."


“We tried to control possession in the first half and the second half, only we did a little better in the second half. We created almost no clear-cut chances, but if I had been in better form, I probably would have had a few better shots.”


It's worth mentioning that Liverpool defeated Arteta's team at home against Arsenal this season through a free kick scored by Szoboszlai.


When asked about his inability to score from free kicks in the match, Szoboszlai said, "It seems I still need to practice more set pieces. They defended very well, and we ended up with a point."
