According to Daily post, Arsenal have moved three points clear at the top of the Premier League table following their 1-0 victory over Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday evening.

The Gunners took advantage of Manchester City's defeat to Brighton on Saturday to strengthen their position in the title race, recording an important away victory against one of their major rivals.

Mikel Arteta's men entered the encounter knowing that a win would increase their advantage over City after Pep Guardiola's side suffered a disappointing 1-0 home defeat to Brighton.

The loss was Manchester City's second consecutive defeat in the Premier League, giving Arsenal an opportunity to extend their lead at the summit.

Arsenal made good use of the opportunity, with Kai Havertz scoring the only goal of the encounter in the first half.

The German forward found the back of the net after receiving a low cross from Declan Rice, who provided the assist to give the visitors a crucial advantage.

Liverpool attempted to respond after falling behind and created opportunities to get back into the contest.

However, the Reds struggled to break down Arsenal's defence, with Arteta's players maintaining their organisation and discipline throughout the encounter.

Despite Liverpool's efforts to secure at least a point, Arsenal held on until the final whistle to record a clean sheet and claim all three points.

The victory leaves Arsenal with 24 points from nine Premier League matches, opening a three-point gap over second-placed Manchester City.

City have 21 points following their consecutive league defeats, while Liverpool remain on 15 points, nine behind the league leaders.

Arsenal's latest result represents an important boost to their title ambitions, particularly after Manchester City's unexpected loss at home to Brighton.

For Arteta, the victory also provides another significant result against a major Premier League rival, with his players demonstrating their ability to secure narrow victories in difficult away fixtures.

Declan Rice was particularly influential in the encounter, contributing the assist for Havertz's winning goal.

Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher subsequently praised the England international, describing him as the best midfielder in the Premier League.

Meanwhile, Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk expressed disappointment with his team's inability to convert their scoring opportunities, admitting that they could have done better in the closing stages.

Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola also regretted his side's approach during the opening 15 minutes before conceding Arsenal's goal.

Arsenal will now look to maintain their advantage at the top of the table as the Premier League campaign continues, while Manchester City and Liverpool will seek to recover from their respective setbacks.
