Arsenal ended their long wait for a Premier League victory at Anfield, beating Liverpool 1-0 away from home for their first win at the stadium since 2012. The result lifted Mikel Arteta’s side to the top of the Premier League table, putting them three points clear of their nearest challengers and ahead of Manchester City.

The decisive moment came in the 16th minute, when Kai Havertz finished off a precise delivery from Declan Rice to give the visitors an early lead. Arsenal then had to withstand sustained pressure from Liverpool, who pushed hard for an equaliser in front of their home supporters.
