From the source

Liverpool’s 1-0 defeat to Arsenal at Anfield will be remembered for a penalty decision that never came, but the story underneath it is more interesting than the scoreline suggests.

Our take is that this was a performance Liverpool fans can take genuine encouragement from, even while the frustration over how it ended is entirely justified.

Kai Havertz put the visitors ahead after sixteen minutes, turning in Declan Rice’s delivery to give Arsenal an early foothold they barely deserved to extend.
