From the source

Arsenal put on a defensive masterclass to claim a 1-0 win away to Liverpool on Sunday and in doing so, they achieved a Premier League first.

Kai Havertz found the only goal when he met Declan Rice's cross to fire in the winner at the back post as the Gunners managed to keep Liverpool at bay despite finding themselves under the cosh for much of the tie.

As Mikel Arteta's side snatched their first victory at Anfield in 14 years, they became the first ever team to prevent Liverpool from having a shot on target in a Premier League match at Anfield.
