From Fleetwood embarrassment to 'magical' Anfield win 14 years in making
· Sports · BBC Sport, ABC News (AU)
Arsenal secured their first Premier League win at Anfield in 14 years with a 1-0 victory against Liverpool, courtesy of Kai Havertz's first-half goal. Manager Mikel Arteta, who captained the Gunners to a 2-0 win at Anfield in 2012, praised his side's defensive resilience after they withstood sustained pressure without allowing a shot on target in the second half. The historic win follows Arsenal's shock Carabao Cup exit against League Two side Fleetwood Town four days prior. The victory moves the Gunners three points clear at the top of the Premier League table with 24 points from nine games. The result also marks Arsenal's first clean sheet away against Liverpool in the league since 2012.
Why it matters
The victory extends Arsenal's lead at the top of the Premier League table and breaks a 16-match winless run across all competitions at Anfield.
