London, Jan 11 (KUNA) -- Arsenal defeated host Liverpool 1-0 in a match played at Anfield on Sunday as part of the ninth round of the English Premier League. German striker Kai Havertz scored Arsenal’s only goal in the 16th minute of a match that offered few clear-cut chances, with both teams displaying similar levels but with a slight edge for the home side that lacked real effectiveness or genuine threat on goal. The victory allowed the London club to top the standings, raising their tally to 24 points, benefiting from Manchester City’s 1-0 defeat to Brighton on Saturday, which left City stuck on 21 points. Meanwhile, Liverpool remained on 15 points but retained fifth place in the league table. (End) M.R.N / S.A.M
