Arsenal beat Liverpool to go top of the Premier League

Arsenal secured a historic victory at Anfield against Liverpool (1-0) on Sunday, and took top spot in the Premier League. According to De Telegraaf, this is the Gunners' first win on Liverpool's turf since 2012. The London club now sits alone at the top of the league, as reported by NU.nl and Voetbal International.

A win built on an opponent's mistake

The match's goal was scored by Kai Havertz, following a defensive error in Liverpool's build-up play, according to Placar and Voetbal International. The Reds paid dearly for their sloppiness in possession, analyses Voetbal International. Arsenal opened the scoring early in the match, then held off their opponent's attacks, per Voetbalnieuws.

This fifth consecutive Premier League win allows Arsenal to take advantage of Manchester City's defeat, their direct rival, to claim first place, stresses Voetbal International. Maxifoot describes an Arsenal side that "just won't stop."

A first in 14 years

According to Maisfutebol, Arsenal had not won at Anfield in 14 years. Voetbalzone speaks of a "historic victory" and a "heavy blow" dealt to Liverpool. So Foot sums up the situation: "England's throne has a new occupant."

The Gunners thus confirm their current momentum and take a serious option on the title, even though the season is still long. Liverpool, for their part, will have to pick themselves up after this home defeat.
