Story summary

Arsenal secured their first Premier League win at Anfield in 14 years by defeating Liverpool 1-0 on Sunday, November 1. The match, which was marred by VAR drama and a contentious incident involving Alexis Mac Allister, saw Kai Havertz score the only goal of the game in the 16th minute. Arsenal's victory came despite several injury concerns, including Bukayo Saka and William Saliba being unavailable. The win propels Arsenal to the top of the Premier League table, two points better off after nine games compared to their title-winning campaign last season. Manager Mikel Arteta, who was captain during Arsenal's previous Anfield victory in 2012, saw his team overcome a challenging test at one of football’s most intimidating venues.
