Arsenal beats Liverpool 1-0 to end Anfield torment and go top of the Premier League
Kai Havertz scored the winner as Arsenal ended a long Anfield drought and moved ahead of Manchester City on goal difference, officials said.
- On Sunday, November 1, 2026, Arsenal defeated Liverpool 1-0 at Anfield, securing their first Premier League victory at the stadium in 16 years and moving to the top of the table.
- Defensive carelessness from Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker allowed Arsenal to capitalize; his misplaced pass in the first half directly led to the game's only goal.
- Kai Havertz tapped in the winner in the 16th minute, finishing a well-worked move initiated by Declan Rice's low center across the face of goal for the Gunners.
- With this eighth victory, Arsenal leapfrogged Manchester City into first place, while Liverpool remains in fifth place, nine points behind the league leaders.
- Former Newcastle striker Alan Shearer told Betfair that Liverpool could mount a genuine title challenge, noting the team is "getting into stride" under manager Andoni Iraola.
