How Havertz settled the match in the 16th minute
Arsenal took the lead after pressing Liverpool as the home side tried to play out from a goal-kick. Rice moved into space on the right and drove a low ball across the face of goal. Havertz arrived at the far post to finish from close range.
The early goal changed the contest. Liverpool stepped up their pressure, but Arsenal did not need to chase possession or commit extra numbers forward. Arteta’s players protected the penalty area and looked for moments to break into space.
Liverpool pressure brought chances, but no equaliser
Liverpool pushed Arsenal deep for long periods of the first half. Wirtz struck the bar with a free-kick, Mac Allister headed over from a promising position and Alexander Isak came close to reaching a Bradley Barcola cross.
There was also a disputed first-half penalty appeal when Jurriën Timber pulled at Isak’s shirt. The officials allowed play to continue. The incident remained a talking point after full-time, but the score did not change.
After the interval, Liverpool continued to attack without seriously testing David Raya. At the other end, Alisson produced an excellent one-handed save to deny Christos Tzolis. The hosts finished with plenty of attempts, but not one shot on target.
Match stats: Arsenal held firm despite Liverpool’s possession
The Liverpool vs Arsenal match stats illustrate the difference between control of the ball and an effective finish. Liverpool held 56% possession and took 17 shots to Arsenal’s 10, yet Arsenal registered three attempts on target and kept a clean sheet. The 1.15–0.96 expected-goals comparison was close, reflecting a match with chances but little clear finishing from the hosts.
Why this result matters to the Premier League table

What the result says about Arsenal and Liverpool
Arteta’s team won without dominating every phase. Rice’s delivery supplied the decisive moment, and Arsenal’s defenders dealt with crosses, second balls and repeated pressure. Their ability to defend a narrow advantage mattered as much as the early goal.
Liverpool, managed by Andoni Iraola, created pressure without enough precision in the box. The hosts had opportunities to level, but Arsenal blocked attempts, defended their six-yard area and denied Raya a shot to save. Liverpool’s next matches will test their response, rather than change what happened at Anfield.
The result in context: previous meetings and what comes next
Liverpool and Arsenal have produced contrasting results at Anfield in recent seasons. Liverpool won this league fixture 1-0 in August 2025, but Arsenal reversed that scoreline in November 2026. Both remain dated results: they should not be confused with the next scheduled meeting.
