While Liverpool mounted attack after attack, they mustered just one shot on target against an Arsenal side who have conceded just 10 goals in 15 games this season. ‘That is how you work as a team,’ Shearer told Premier League Productions after Arsenal’s first win at Anfield in 14 years. ‘That is how you defend as a team. ‘Every single one of them to a man were outstanding. When they were under the cosh in the second half, you could see how much they wanted to defend and what it means to them to keep a clean sheet. ‘I don’t think there is a better team in world football that defend quite like Arsenal defend.

Kai Havertz scored Arsenal’s winner at Liverpool (Picture: Getty) ‘Arsenal frustrated them,’ Walcott said. ‘To limit Liverpool to no shots on target shows the level of this team. They are going to be difficult to stop this year. ‘I look at Arsenal’s forward players and at no point do they get frustrated working for the team.

Liverpool hero Steve McManaman said: ‘They were the better team today, but they’ve walked off losing with just one shot on target. ‘In the second half they had lots of possession, their effort and work rate and enthusiasm was all there. They were just missing that little bit of magic.’ Arsenal and Liverpool are both in Champions League action this week, with the Gunners facing Slavia Prague and the Reds visiting Fenerbahce.
