The result sent Mikel Arteta&#8217;s side back to the top of the Premier League table and marked their historic 300th away victory in the competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For football fans in Kenya, the heavyweight encounter delivered a gripping battle of tactical discipline, defensive resilience and title-winning ambition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Havertz Strikes as Arsenal Take Early Control<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Arsenal started confidently, dominating possession early despite Liverpool&#8217;s counter-attacking threat. David Raya reacted quickly to prevent Bradley Barcola from breaking through, keeping the visitors composed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The breakthrough arrived when Declan Rice delivered a perfectly weighted cross into the Liverpool penalty area, allowing Kai Havertz to finish clinically at the far post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Liverpool tried to respond immediately, but Barcola wasted a promising chance after a defensive mistake, and Rice recovered to prevent an equalizer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Arsenal nearly doubled their advantage when Noni Madueke threatened inside the box, but Jurrien Timber inadvertently broke up the attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"674\" height=\"455\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/images-65.jpg\" alt=\"Liverpool 0-1 Arsenal: Havertz Fires Gunners Top After Historic Anfield Win\" class=\"wp-image-20078\" style=\"width:969px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/images-65.jpg 674w, https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/images-65-300x203.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/images-65-150x101.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/images-65-299x202.jpg 299w, https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/images-65-323x218.jpg 323w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 674px) 100vw, 674px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo Courtesy<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Liverpool Fight Back, but Arsenal Defense Holds Firm<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Liverpool gradually increased the pressure, with Alexander Isak coming close after Virgil van Dijk&#8217;s header created a dangerous opportunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Florian Wirtz then rattled the crossbar with a powerful free-kick, while Alexis Mac Allister headed over from a promising position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite Liverpool&#8217;s attacking momentum, Arsenal maintained their narrow advantage heading into halftime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Interestingly, Raya did not register a conventional save during the opening period, although his positioning and crucial interventions proved essential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Second-Half Drama as Gunners Protect Their Lead<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Liverpool continued searching for an equalizer after the restart. Isak received a promising pass from Milos Kerkez but fired over as the shooting angle narrowed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Arsenal gradually slowed the tempo, frustrating Liverpool&#8217;s attacking rhythm while remaining dangerous on the counterattack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the opposite end, Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson produced an outstanding full-stretch save to deny Christos Tzolis&#8217; curling effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As tensions increased, Mac Allister received a yellow card following an altercation with Martin Odegaard. Madueke was also involved in a heated confrontation, but no further punishment followed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Arsenal ultimately protected their slender advantage until the final whistle, securing three crucial points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/r1739567_1296x729_16-9-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Liverpool 0-1 Arsenal: Havertz Fires Gunners Top After Historic Anfield Win\" class=\"wp-image-20079\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/r1739567_1296x729_16-9-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/r1739567_1296x729_16-9-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/r1739567_1296x729_16-9-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/r1739567_1296x729_16-9-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/r1739567_1296x729_16-9-299x168.jpg 299w, https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/r1739567_1296x729_16-9-324x182.jpg 324w, https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/r1739567_1296x729_16-9-695x391.jpg 695w, https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/r1739567_1296x729_16-9-1067x600.jpg 1067w, https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/r1739567_1296x729_16-9.jpg 1296w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo Courtesy<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Arsenal Make Premier League History at Anfield<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">FULL-TIME RESULT<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Arsenal&nbsp;
