Arsenal beat Liverpool 1-0 at Anfield to go 3 points clear
Why it matters: Arsenal won a league match at Anfield for the first time since 2012 and tightened the early title race.
Arsenal moved three points clear at the top of the Premier League after a 1-0 win over Liverpool at Anfield, ending the club’s long wait for a league victory there. BBC Sport said it was Arsenal’s first league win at Anfield since 2012 after an end-to-end match that left Liverpool empty-handed. The result cut against the pre-match narrative around Mikel Arteta’s poor record at the ground and pressure after Arsenal’s Carabao Cup exit to Fleetwood. Liverpool had entered the match with a chance to trim the gap on Arsenal to three points with another home win, but instead lost ground in the title race.
