Arsenal go top with their first Anfield win in 14 years after an Alisson blunder gifts Kai Havertz the winner

Arsenal go top with their first Anfield win in 14 years after an Alisson blunder gifts Kai Havertz the winner

Alisson Becker's misplaced pass to Jeremy Jacquet on 16 minutes allowed Martin Odegaard to pounce, with Declan Rice crossing for Kai Havertz to convert at the far post — a gift that proved the only goal. Liverpool dominated possession and attempts but failed to register a single shot on target at Anfield for the first time ever in the Premier League. The result puts Arsenal three points clear of Manchester City, who lost to Brighton on Saturday, with Liverpool left fifth, nine points adrift.

Jamie Carragher branded Alexis Mac Allister's attempt to get Noni Madueke sent off — going down clutching his head after it briefly touched the Arsenal winger's — 'embarrassing' and a 'joke.'

Gary Neville called Arsenal defender Gabriel 'absolutely embarrassing' for going down clutching his face after replays showed Alexander Isak had caught him only in the chest.

VAR ignored Jurrien Timber's blatant shirt-pull on Isak as he shaped to meet a header — a call that left Anfield furious.
