- Arsenal beat Liverpool 1-0 at Anfield, ending a 14-year winless streak in the Premier League at the stadium and extending their lead at the top of the table to three points.
- Mikel Arteta said the victory was especially meaningful after the team's embarrassing Carabao Cup exit to League Two side Fleetwood Town four days earlier, calling it a 'magical' turnaround.
- Kai Havertz scored the match-winning goal and dedicated the win to Arsenal fans, noting it ended a 13-game winless run for the club at Anfield in the Premier League.
- Declan Rice provided the assist for Havertz and emphasized the team's unity, stating 'the togetherness we have is undefeated' after Arsenal held firm under relentless Liverpool pressure.
- Arsenal's defence kept a clean sheet at Anfield for the first time in the Premier League since 2012, with Liverpool failing to register a single shot on target.
Why it matters: Arsenal now sit three points clear at the top of the Premier League after nine games, their best start since 2007-08, and have proven they can win under pressure despite offensive struggles and recent setbacks, making them early title favorites as rivals face transitions.
