## Key points

- Arsenal won 1-0 at Anfield for the first time in 14 years.
- Havertz scored after a Rice assist.
- The result put Arsenal three points clear at the top.

## Summary

Arsenal beat Liverpool 1-0 at Anfield, securing their first Premier League win there in 14 years and moving three points clear at the top after nine games. Mikel Arteta said the result was especially meaningful after Arsenal’s embarrassing League Cup defeat by League Two side Fleetwood Town four days earlier.

Kai Havertz scored the only goal, assisted by Declan Rice, as Arsenal withstood sustained Liverpool pressure. They kept a clean sheet at Anfield for the first time in the league since 2012 and have six clean sheets this season. Arsenal have 24 points, their best return after nine matches since 2007-08, while their 14 league goals suggest their attack has yet to hit top form.
