ARSENAL MAKE HISTORY AT ANFIELD WITH 1-0 VICTORY OVER LIVERPOOL

 Kai Havertz scores the decisive goal as Mikel Arteta's men secure their first Premier League victory at Anfield in 14 years and strengthen their position at the top of the table.

Arsenal secured a crucial 1-0 victory over Liverpool on Sunday, November 1, 2026, at Anfield, in a highly competitive encounter in the English Premier League.

German international Kai Havertz was the hero of the evening, scoring the only goal of the match in the 16th minute to give the Gunners three valuable points against one of their biggest rivals.

The decisive moment came after an excellent attacking move involving Martin Ødegaard and Declan Rice. Rice delivered a low cross into the penalty area, allowing Havertz to finish from close range and put Arsenal ahead.

Liverpool tried to respond immediately, creating several dangerous opportunities in search of an equaliser. Florian Wirtz came close with a free-kick that struck the crossbar, while Alexis Mac Allister missed a good opportunity with a header.

Despite the pressure from the home side, Arsenal maintained their defensive organisation and demonstrated impressive discipline throughout the match.

In the second half, Liverpool continued pushing forward, but Mikel Arteta's players remained solid at the back, protecting their advantage until the final whistle.

The result was particularly significant for Arsenal, as it marked their first Premier League victory at Anfield since 2012, ending a 14-year wait for success at Liverpool's home ground.

With this victory, Arsenal strengthened their position at the top of the Premier League table, moving three points clear of Manchester City, while Liverpool remained nine points behind the league leaders.

The victory also represented an important response from Arteta's team following their recent disappointment in the Carabao Cup.

Arsenal's performance highlighted their defensive strength, tactical discipline and ability to deliver results in difficult away matches.

With Kai Havertz providing the decisive moment, Arsenal have sent a strong message to their title rivals: the Gunners are determined to fight for the Premier League crown this season.
