Arsenal has ended a 14-year wait for a Premier League victory at Anfield with a historic 1-0 win over Liverpool today, becoming the first team on record to prevent the Reds from registering a shot on target at home.

Kai Havertz scored the decisive goal in the 16th minute, converting a low cross from Declan Rice at the far post after a loose pass out from the back by Alisson Becker gifted Arsenal possession high up the pitch.

Despite dominating possession and attempting 17 shots in front of a 60,406 crowd, Liverpool failed to test David Raya throughout the 90 minutes.

Their closest effort came from a Florian Wirtz free-kick that struck the crossbar, while Alexis Mac Allister headed over from close range.

The result marked the first time since Opta began recording shot data in 2003-04 that Liverpool have failed to hit the target in a league match at Anfield – a run spanning 442 games.

The victory, Arsenal’s first at Anfield since 2012, moves Mikel Arteta’s side three points clear at the top of the Premier League and nine points ahead of Liverpool after nine matches.
