Arsenal's defence shines in Anfield win over Liverpool

Arsenal ended a 14-year wait for a league win at Anfield by beating Liverpool at their home ground.

Kai Havertz scored early to give Arsenal the lead.

Arsenal's defence kept Liverpool to zero shots on target, even though regular centre-back William Saliba was sidelined with a back injury.

The result was especially significant for manager Mikel Arteta, who has described playing at Anfield as a difficult experience.

Arsenal's defensive strength is helping the team compete for the Premier League title, despite questions about its attack.

The current defence is being compared with Arsenal's Invincibles, the side that went unbeaten in the 2003-04 league season.

If Arsenal maintain this form and win a second consecutive league title, their defence could be considered among the club's greatest.
