Arsenal move clear at the top with a rare win at Liverpool
Arsenal win at Anfield for the first time since 2012 to earn a three-point lead at the top of the Premier League table following an end-to-end match that leaves Liverpool frustrated to have taken nothing.
Arsenal secured a 1-0 victory against Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday, marking their first win at the stadium since 2012. Kai Havertz scored a first-half goal to secure the win, allowing Arsenal to move clear at the top of the Premier League table with 24 points and a three-point lead.
The match was described by BBC Sport as an end-to-end encounter that left Liverpool frustrated. Following the result, Liverpool sits nine points behind the top of the table. Yahoo Sports noted that Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola lamented his team's inability to turn dominance into goals, specifically mentioning a missed opportunity when Alexander Isak was not awarded a penalty for a shirt pull during a header attempt.
Iraola credited Arsenal for their goal, which occurred after Liverpool failed to properly defend a goal kick.
