Arsenal beat Liverpool 1-0 at Anfield to move three points clear at the top of the Premier League. Kai Havertz scored the decisive goal as Arsenal ended a 14-year wait for a win at Liverpoolâs home ground, while Manchester Cityâs defeat by Brighton amplified the resultâs impact on the title race.
Arsenal end Anfield drought to go top
Arsenal moved to the top of the Premier League with a 1-0 victory at Liverpool, securing their first win at Anfield in 14 years, according to reports from The Athletic and the Washington Post.
Kai Havertz scored the only goal of the match, giving Arsenal a rare victory at Liverpoolâs home ground and lifting Mikel Artetaâs side three points clear at the summit. The result was especially significant because it came during a weekend in which Manchester City lost at home to Brighton.
Defeat leaves Liverpool empty-handed
Liverpool were beaten despite playing at Anfield, where Arsenal had not won since 2012. The loss formed part of a decisive weekend at the top of the table, with Arsenal taking advantage of Cityâs 1-0 defeat by Brighton to establish a three-point lead.
Brightonâs win also strengthened their position among the leading sides, while Manchester Unitedâs 2-0 loss at Chelsea added further pressure elsewhere in the Premier League. Arsenalâs result, however, was the weekendâs clearest statement in the title race: the leaders now have momentum from a landmark away victory and a narrow advantage over their main challengers.
The match was reported as a 1-0 Arsenal win, with Havertz providing the decisive goal.
