Arsenal have finally conquered Anfield! The Gunners secured a memorable 1–0 Premier League victory over Liverpool on Sunday, 1 November 2026, ending their 14-year wait for a league win at the famous stadium. Kai Havertz proved to be the match-winner, scoring the only goal of the encounter in the 16th minute to give Mikel Arteta’s men a massive three points in their pursuit of the Premier League title.
Arsenal started the game with confidence, showing their intention to take control against a Liverpool side playing in front of their home supporters. The breakthrough arrived in the 16th minute following an excellent attacking move. Arsenal won possession high up the pitch after Martin Ødegaard intercepted a misplaced pass from Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker. The ball was quickly moved forward, with Bruno Guimarães finding Noni Madueke on the right. Madueke then released Declan Rice, who made an excellent overlapping run before delivering a low cross into the penalty area. Kai Havertz was perfectly positioned at the far post to turn the ball into the net, sending the travelling Arsenal supporters into celebration.
The goal gave Arsenal a deserved advantage and placed Liverpool under immediate pressure. Despite Liverpool’s attacking pressure, Arsenal managed to reach half-time with their narrow advantage intact. The second half continued in a similar fashion, with Liverpool attempting to increase the pressure and Arsenal remaining organised defensively. As the minutes passed, Liverpool struggled to find a way through the Arsenal defence.
The Gunners remained focused and determined, protecting their advantage until the final whistle. Their 1–0 victory marked their first Premier League win at Anfield since 2012, bringing an end to a difficult 14-year wait. The result also strengthens Arsenal’s position at the top of the Premier League table, giving the Gunners renewed confidence as the season continues.
Arsenal will look to build on this important victory as they continue their Premier League campaign. With the competition expected to remain intense, maintaining consistency will be crucial if Arteta’s side are to achieve their ambitions. For Liverpool, the defeat will be disappointing, particularly after creating several opportunities to get back into the contest.
However, Arsenal will leave Anfield with something special: three valuable points and the satisfaction of ending a 14-year wait at one of English football’s most difficult grounds. Anfield has finally fallen to Arsenal.
