Liverpool Lose 1-0 to Arsenal at Anfield

Liverpool lost 1-0 to Arsenal at Anfield in Matchweek 9 of the Premier League. The home side, which had dropped points ahead of its away trip to Fenerbahçe, suffered its second league defeat of the season under Andoni Iraola.

The only goal of the match came in the 16th minute. Declan Rice's cross from the right wing found Kai Havertz at the back post, and he headed the ball into the empty net to give his team the win.

Liverpool failed to find the net despite Florian Wirtz's free kick, which came back off the crossbar, and a header chance Mac Allister missed. Arsenal maintained their control with a solid defensive display.

The result was Arsenal's first Premier League win at Anfield in 14 years. After Manchester City's dropped points, the visitors moved to the top with 24 points, while Liverpool remained on 15.

Liverpool will face Fenerbahçe in the Champions League in Istanbul on Tuesday, 4 November. The match kicks off at 20:45 Turkey time. Arsenal play away at Slavia Prague the same day.

In the next league round, Liverpool travel to Crystal Palace. Arsenal host Hull City at the Emirates.
