Arsenal suffered yet another Anfield heartbreak as they went down to a late Dominik Szoboszlai free kick.

Mikel Arteta suffered an early setback with William Saliba as the French defender went down injured in the first five minutes.

The Gunners controlled the majority of the first half without really creating any clear openings before Liverpool came on stronger in the second period.

Liverpool’s Szoboszlai produced the defining moment of quality with just eight minutes remaining and Arsenal couldn’t find a reply. The supporters have singled out Cristhian Mosquera’s performance for Arteta’s side.

Arsenal fans impressed with Cristhian Mosquera’s performance v Liverpool

When Saliba went off injured early on in the match, fans would have feared the worst with such an important figure leaving the field in such a big game.

Mosquera had just one substitute appearance coming into the clash, however, Arsenal fans have lauded the performance of the young defender.

One Arsenal on X stated: “Mosquera is an unbelievable talent man kid is a joke Ekiteke can’t breathe.”

Another Arsenal fan wrote: “Mosquera was one of the few today that can be super proud of his performance, thought he was absolutely brilliant.”

One Arsenal compared the depth that the Gunners now have to seasons gone by, they wrote: “Thinking about what that half would have been like if Rob Holding came on for Saliba. Mosquera, unbelievable performance so far. Class signing.”

Martin Odegaard has been impressed with Mosquera since arriving in North London and in particular how quickly the Spaniard has settled into the club.

Up against a powerful Liverpool strike force, Mosquera stood up to the challenge and showed that he can certainly be relied upon in Saliba’s absence.

It is believed that Saliba picked up an ankle injury in the warm up and was unable to play through the pain, however, Mosquera has taken his opportunity.

The young defender will now be hoping that he can impress with a run of games in the side and show that the Gunners do have the depth to cope with injury problems this campaign.
