Arsenal won at Anfield for the first time in 14 years after Kai Havertz's strike sealed a gritty 1-0 victory - but Liverpool were denied what looked to be a clear penalty.
The result opens up a three-point gap on Manchester City at the top of the Premier League - and means Mikel Arteta's side are nine clear of Liverpool.
In a battle of attrition, the only discernible difference was at the top end. Liverpool's various waves of pressure almost always led to an effort on David Raya's goal - 17 in total - but none actually forced the goalkeeper into a save.
Florian Wirtz hit the crossbar with a free-kick and Alexis Mac Allister ballooned a header over the bar unmarked, but Andoni Iraola's side failed to land a single shot on target. "It's been a defensive masterclass from Arsenal," said Gary Neville.

The hosts might have had an opportunity from the penalty spot but Jurrien Timber's less-than-subtle tug on Alexander Isak's shirt in the first half was not spotted by the officials, prompting Jamie Carragher to tell VAR to "do its job".
