Arsenal, Liverpool, Kai Havertz and Mikel Arteta
1 November 2026
Arsenal defeated Liverpool 1-0 at Anfield to secure their first Premier League victory at the stadium since 2012. Kai Havertz scored the winner as the defending champions moved three points clear at the top.
Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson’s poor distribution helped Arsenal create the opening, with Declan Rice supplying Havertz for the first-half goal. Liverpool applied sustained pressure but failed to register a shot on target. Arsenal’s defensive performance delivered their sixth league clean sheet of the campaign, just days after their Carabao Cup elimination by Fleetwood.
Why It Matters
Arsenal end a 14-year wait for an Anfield league victory and extend their lead in the title race.
