A 1-0 victory over Liverpool secured a 14-year streak of first league wins at the stadium and pushed Arsenal three points clear of Manchester City at the top of the table.
Kai Havertz scored the decisive goal in the 16th minute, with Liverpool's relentless attacking efforts failing to break through Arsenal's resilient defense.
