Arsenal return to the top of the Premier League alone. Arteta's team wins the super challenge of the ninth week, triumphing 1-0 in the transfer against Liverpool at "Anfield". "Gunners" start the match strongly and manage to unlock the result in the 16th minute with a decisive shot from Kai Havertz, after the assist from Rice. "Reds" try in every way to equalize, but stop at the crossbar hit by Wirtz. The reigning champions are now three points ahead of Manchester City, who are ranked second.
A decisive first-half strike from Kai Havertz was enough for Arsenal to beat Liverpool 1-0 away and register their eighth win in the first nine weeks of the Premier League. The Gunners immediately started the match at Anfield with a high tempo, but they had to wait until the 16th minute to take the lead, which would later turn out to be the decisive goal of the match. The action began with a pass on the right wing, where Declan Rice crossed into the area and found Havertz, who scored with his left foot, near the goal, to make it 1-0. The home team tried to react and managed to turn the game around. A few minutes before the break, the big chance for an equaliser came: in the 39th minute, Wirtz executed a dangerous free kick, but his right crashed into the crossbar.

Even after the break, it is Iraola's players who are again exerting pressure, but in the last half of the match, the fatigue of the "Reds" becomes increasingly visible, while the guests seem to have the situation under control. The best chance to equalize comes at the feet of Araujo in the 77th minute, but the former Barcelona player is stopped by the opposing defense. Ngumoha and Barcola also try to equalize in the extra minutes, but in the end the reigning champions triumph. Arsenal climb to 24 points, with eight wins and one loss recorded so far in the championship. Liverpool remains at 15 points, in fifth place and already one point away from the Champions League zone, where Chelsea is in fourth place with 16 points.
