Defensive 'masterclass' and elite Rice - how Arsenal ended Anfield torment
What happened
Arsenal beat Liverpool 1-0 at Anfield, their first league win at the ground since 2012, with Kai Havertz scoring the only goal in the 16th minute.
Liverpool were unhappy that no penalty was given for Jurriën Timber pulling Alexander Isak's shirt in the 21st minute, the Guardian reported.
Gary Neville called it a "defensive masterclass", while Jamie Carragher said this back four is getting close to being compared with the famous Adams-era defence of '89 and '91.
Mikel Arteta called the defending "remarkable", and Rice said the performance showed Arsenal can grind out results like champions.
“In the end, that defensive line, the way we stick together, that togetherness we have, is undefeated”
