Source context
Arsenal ended their long wait for a win at Anfield as they defeated Liverpool 1-0 in their own backyard on Sunday evening. Kai Havertz grabbed the decisive goal for the Gunners after 16 minutes when he arrived at the back post at the right time to meet Declan Rice's teasing low cross and fire past Alisson. The Reds pushed for an equaliser, but were denied by the visitors' resolute defending. While it wasn't the prettiest of wins for Mikel Arteta's side, it was an important one, and one that required a heroic team performance. Despite the entirety of Arsenal's XI putting in a shift, there were three players that stood out at Anfield. At this point, anyone who says Declan Rice is a centre back needs to give their head a real wobble.
