Arsenal won 1-0 at Liverpool with a first-half goal from Kai Havertz, moving three points clear at the top of the Premier League.

Arsenal won 1-0 at Anfield, with Kai Havertz scoring from Declan Rice's pass in the first half. The victory moved Arsenal three points clear at the top of the Premier League and was their first league win at Liverpool's ground in 14 years.

Liverpool created chances but failed to convert them. Alexander Isak had a potential penalty claim when his shirt was pulled by Jurrien Timber in the box, and Alexis Mac Allister headed over from close range before half-time. Despite 17 attempts, Liverpool registered no shots on target.

Jamie Carragher hailed Declan Rice as 'the best midfielder in the country by a long way' after the Arsenal midfielder was named Player of the Match. Carragher also described Arsenal as 'arguably the best team defensively' in Europe, particularly noting their defensive solidity without William Saliba.
