What changed
Arsenal beat Liverpool 1-0 at Anfield on 1 November 2026, with Kai Havertz scoring the only goal. Declan Rice created it, while a misplaced pass from Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson helped give Arsenal the lead.
Why it matters
This was a narrow scoreline, but Arsenal’s edge came from the details. Rice drove the midfield and earned the strongest assessment among Arsenal’s players, while Gabriel Magalhaes helped contain Alexander Isak and Liverpool’s attack.
Liverpool had chances to change the game. Florian Wirtz struck the bar with a free-kick, and Alexis Mac Allister should have done better when Milos Kerkez found him with a cross. But the expensive attacking talent never turned those moments into a goal.
That makes the result feel more damaging for Liverpool than a routine 1-0 defeat. Arsenal had to defend for long spells, yet Liverpool’s biggest opportunities ended in near misses, appeals or unfinished moves. Arsenal leave Anfield with a rare win there since 2012; Liverpool leave knowing one poor pass and too little decisiveness settled the match.
