🚨 ARSENAL WIN AT ANFIELD! THE 14-YEAR CURSE IS FINALLY OVER!
LIVERPOOL 0-1 ARSENAL! KAI HAVERTZ SCORES! ARTETA DELIVERS A DEFENSIVE MASTERCLASS!
Mikel Arteta's Arsenal have produced a magnificent performance to beat Liverpool at Anfield for the first time in the Premier League since September 2012!
KAI HAVERTZ scored the winning goal after just 16 minutes, converting a brilliant cross from DECLAN RICE, before Arsenal delivered an extraordinary defensive performance to secure three massive points.
And following Manchester City's defeat to Brighton, the Gunners are now THREE POINTS CLEAR AT THE TOP OF THE PREMIER LEAGUE!
In today's Arsenal Match Reaction, Tom Canton breaks down a historic victory, Arteta's tactical masterclass, Havertz's decisive contribution, Declan Rice's outstanding display and a performance that could prove hugely significant in the title race.
🏆 THE ANFIELD CURSE IS BROKEN!
Fourteen years. Countless frustrating visits. And finally, Arsenal have won a Premier League match at Anfield again!
Arteta's side showed tremendous character, organisation and resilience to overcome Liverpool in one of English football's most difficult away fixtures.
After the disappointment of Arsenal's Carabao Cup exit to Fleetwood Town, this was exactly the response supporters needed.
Is this one of Arteta's greatest away victories as Arsenal manager?
⚽ KAI HAVERTZ — THE MATCH WINNER!
What a moment for Kai Havertz!
After a difficult night against Fleetwood, the German international responded in the best possible fashion, scoring the decisive goal at Anfield.
Arsenal's aggressive pressing forced Liverpool into a mistake before Declan Rice delivered an outstanding low cross for Havertz to finish at the back post.
We discuss Havertz's movement, his importance to Arteta's system and whether he has made a strong case to lead the attack in Arsenal's biggest matches.
💪 DECLAN RICE — A MONSTER PERFORMANCE!
Declan Rice was everywhere!
From his superb assist for Havertz to his tireless defensive work, Rice produced another hugely influential performance in Arsenal's midfield.
His energy, leadership and quality helped Arsenal compete with Liverpool's intensity and manage the difficult moments.
Was Rice your Man of the Match?
🛡️ ARTETA'S DEFENSIVE MASTERCLASS!
Liverpool had plenty of possession and pressure, but Arsenal's defensive organisation was exceptional.
Despite registering 17 attempts, Liverpool failed to record a single shot on target!
GABRIEL MAGALHÃES, EZRI KONSA, JURRIËN TIMBER and the rest of Arsenal's defensive unit delivered an immense collective performance.
We analyse Arsenal's compact shape, their ability to protect David Raya and the tactical discipline that frustrated Liverpool's expensive attacking players.
Was this the ultimate example of Arteta's winning mentality?
👀 LIVERPOOL PENALTY CONTROVERSY!
The match wasn't without controversy.
Liverpool believed they should have received a penalty after Jurriën Timber appeared to pull Alexander Isak's shirt inside the box.
Was the decision correct? Should VAR have intervened?
We examine the incident, the reaction and the wider debate surrounding refereeing consistency.
