Liverpool’s Afternoon of Fine Margins Ends in Arsenal Defeat

From the source
Five straight wins had put some bounce back into Anfield, and for an hour on Saturday it looked like that run was about to stretch to six.
Instead, Liverpool’s resurgence under Andoni Iraola hit its first real wall this month, as a sharp finish from Kai Havertz settled a tense afternoon in Arsenal’s favour and left the home crowd stewing over two chances that never quite arrived.
Our honest read on this one is that Liverpool were the better side for long stretches and still walked away with nothing. Havertz struck shortly before the half hour after Arsenal pounced on a loose pass out from the back, the kind of individual error that tends to get punished against a team as clinical as this current Arsenal side.
