Sky Sports News journalist Vinny O'Connor has discussed Arsenal's 1-0 away win against Liverpool, analysing the game's flow and the visitors' effective defensive strategies.
Arsenal simply did what they needed to do at Anfield, something they had failed to achieve in their previous 13 Premier League visits. At times it was not pretty, but they capitalised on a mistake from Liverpool. Arsenal withstood the pressure that followed as they took the lead in the first half.
It could have been different had Florian Wirtz's free-kick not hit the woodwork and had Alexis Mac Allister not headed over the bar when he was expected to score. It will be interesting to see what Liverpool say about Jurriën Timber tugging Alexander Isak's shirt in the box. However, after the break, Arsenal drained Liverpool of all their energy, and they simply could not find a way to break them down.
In the second half, David Raya had no noteworthy saves to make. The champions have made their statement in the title race.
