Arsenal beat Liverpool 1-0 at Anfield, with Declan Rice setting up the only goal for Kai Havertz in the 16th minute. Arsenal's win was attributed to their solid defense and ability to stay compact. The victory left Arsenal three points clear of Manchester City at the top of the table.
Declan Rice responded cautiously to talk of the Premier League title after the win, saying that the table should not be taken too seriously until February or March. He emphasized the importance of winning as many games as possible in the meantime. Rice praised his team's defensive line and togetherness, saying it was like nothing he had seen before.
Liverpool's loss left them nine points behind Arsenal with one game left before the international break. While some reacted by declaring Liverpool out of the title race, Rice's measured tone was seen as a more sensible approach. Liverpool's next step is to recover quickly and win their next game to stop the defeat from becoming something bigger.

Source context
Arsenal left Anfield with a 1-0 win, three points and a reminder that the Premier League title race still has a long way to go. Liverpool were beaten by Kai Havertz’s first half goal, a simple finish from Declan Rice’s cross, and the table now looks far healthier for Arsenal than it does for the home side. The goal came in the 16th minute. Rice found space and delivered to the back post, Havertz arrived and converted. It was basic, effective, and enough.
