Story summary

On Sunday, November 1, Arsenal defeated Liverpool 1-0 at Anfield in a pivotal Premier League match, ending Arsenal's 14-year drought of winning at the iconic stadium. The sole goal was scored by Kai Havertz in the first half. Despite Liverpool dominating possession and creating numerous opportunities, goalkeeper David Raya made crucial saves to keep them scoreless, marking the first time since Opta records began in 2003 that Liverpool failed to register a shot on target at home. This victory saw Arsenal climb to the top of the Premier League table with three points ahead of Manchester City, who lost their match against Brighton. The result also fueled debate over potential missed penalty calls involving Alexander Isak and Christos Tzolis, adding controversy to an already significant game for both teams' seasons.
