Kai Havertz returned to Arsenal's starting lineup to score the opening goal in an away victory over Liverpool at Anfield. The forward converted a close-range pass from Declan Rice in the 16th minute after an initial setup from Noni Madueke. The result moved Mikel Arteta's side three points clear of Manchester City at the top of the table.
