Arteta’s Arsenal Break 14-Year Anfield Curse With Historic Win
Arsenal finally beat Liverpool at Anfield for the first time since 2012. See how Kai Havertz's goal and Mikel Arteta's gritty plan changed the title race.
On July 19, 2023, Arsenal secured a historic 1-0 victory over Liverpool at Anfield, ending a 14-year curse at the famous stadium. Mikel Arteta's side now leads the Premier League table, three points ahead of Manchester City. Early in the first half, Kai Havertz scored the lone goal for Arsenal after Declan Rice's cross in the 16th minute.
Liverpool fought back, but Arsenal's defense remained unbreakable, with the Reds failing to register a single shot on target. Following a recent defeat to League Two side Fleetwood Town, Arteta emphasized his team's resilience, saying they had to overcome adversity and seize the opportunity to make history. The manager praised his players for handling the setback and rising to the occasion just four days later.
The win at Anfield is a significant milestone, marking the first victory since September 2012 and providing a boost for the title race.
