From Fleetwood embarrassment to 'magical' Anfield win 14 years in making
Arsenal bounce back from the low of defeat at League Two Fleetwood to secure their first win in 14 years at Anfield - and open up a three-point lead at the top of the Premier League.
Mikel Arteta, Arsenal's manager, declared today as the day when his team secured their first Premier League win at Anfield in 14 years. The victory, achieved through Kai Havertz's goal in the first half, came after Arsenal's embarrassing 2-0 defeat to League Two outfit Fleetwood Town in the Carabao Cup just four days earlier. Arteta, who was the captain when Arsenal last triumphed at Liverpool in 2012, praised his team's spirit and defensive prowess.
The Spaniard's side displayed a defensive masterclass, keeping out Liverpool's waves of attacks and conceding no shots on target. Arsenal's victory has brought them three points clear at the top of the table after nine games, with 24 points, the most by any team at this stage since the 2022-23 season. Havertz, the match winner, expressed his pride in delivering a historic win, highlighting the togetherness and resilience of his team.
