Arsenal achieved a significant 1-0 victory over Liverpool, marking their first league win at Anfield since 2012, thanks to Kai Havertz's goal.
Arsenal claimed a crucial 1-0 victory against Liverpool at Anfield, their first league win at the venue since 2012. The match was decided by Kai Havertz's goal in the 16th minute, which came after a defensive error from Liverpool's goalkeeper Alisson. Arsenal's performance showcased their ability to control the game and frustrate their opponents, as they managed to win 18 free-kicks throughout the match.
