Arsenal beat Liverpool 1-0 at Anfield with a goal from Kai Havertz to climb to first place in the Premier League.
Arsenal beat Liverpool 1-0 at Anfield on Sunday, securing their first victory at the ground since 2012. Kai Havertz scored in the 16th minute, finishing from close range at the back post after receiving a low centre from midfielder Declan Rice.
The win was Arsenal's eighth of the campaign, moving them above Manchester City into first place in the Premier League. Arsenal have now kept six clean sheets in nine games this season. Liverpool dominated much of the first half and created several chances, with Florian Wirtz striking the crossbar from a free kick and Alexis Mac Allister heading over when unmarked, but Arsenal's defence held firm.
The loss ended Liverpool's run of five straight wins. They remain in fifth place, nine points behind Arsenal. Brighton sit third, five points behind the leaders. The result comes as Manchester City face uncertainty following a guilty verdict for large-scale financial rule-breaking.
