Football365 writer Will Ford argues that Arsenal delivered a championship-defining performance by regaining defensive control to defeat Liverpool at Anfield. Mikel Arteta's side took the lead following a Declan Rice cross after a mistake from Alisson, ultimately neutralizing Liverpool's pressure to secure a crucial away victory.
