Arsenal Win at Anfield for the First Time in 14 Years to Go Top

Arsenal won at Anfield for the first time in 14 years. Kai Havertz's goal decided the match. With this win, Arsenal rose to the top of the Premier League, three points ahead of Manchester City and nine points ahead of Liverpool.

The match was a tight contest. Liverpool pressed constantly and fired 17 shots at David Raya's goal, but none of them tested the keeper. Florian Wirtz hit the post from a free kick, while Alexis Mac Allister headed over from an open chance. According to the records, Andoni Iraola's side failed to get a single shot on target at home for the first time.

There was also a controversial moment in the first half. Jurrien Timber's clear pull on Alexander Isak's shirt went unnoticed by the referees, and no penalty was given. Jamie Carragher argued that VAR should have done its job. Gary Neville, meanwhile, praised Arsenal's mastery in defence.

With his goal, Havertz became the league's top German scorer with 46 goals, overtaking İlkay Gündoğan. Arteta's side defended their title in an uncertain season overshadowed by the controversies surrounding Manchester City. Liverpool, meanwhile, have scored only four goals in the five league matches they have played at Anfield this season.
