Liverpool 0-1 Arsenal: Kai Havertz seals Gunners' first victory at Anfield for 14 years to move top of Premier League

Arsenal won at Anfield for the first time in 14 years after Kai Havertz's strike sealed a gritty 1-0 victory - but Liverpool were denied what looked to be a clear penalty.
The result opens up a three-point gap on Manchester City at the top of the Premier League - and means Mikel Arteta's side are nine clear of Liverpool.
In a battle of attrition, the only discernible difference was at the top end. Liverpool's various waves of pressure almost always led to an effort on David Raya's goal - 17 in total - but none actually forced the goalkeeper into a save.
Florian Wirtz hit the crossbar with a free-kick and Alexis Mac Allister ballooned a header over the bar unmarked, but Andoni Iraola's side failed to land a single shot on target. "It's been a defensive masterclass from Arsenal," said Gary Neville.

The hosts might have had an opportunity from the penalty spot but Jurrien Timber's less-than-subtle tug on Alexander Isak's shirt in the first half was not spotted by the officials, prompting Jamie Carragher to tell VAR to "do its job".
