Arsenal Break 14-Year Anfield Drought and Go Top of the Premier League

Arsenal have ended a 14-year wait for a league win at Anfield, and the result has lifted them to the top of the Premier League table. For a club that has spent much of the past decade watching Liverpool from the other side of the title race, it is a result that carries weight well beyond the three points.

Breaking a run like that tends to matter in the dressing room as much as on the table. Arsenal had gone well over a decade without taking anything from a league visit to Anfield, so a win there removes a psychological barrier that had become part of the story around the fixture.

The result also adds to the pressure on Manchester United, who were beaten again. The defeat continues a difficult spell for the club and leaves questions about its consistency and direction still unanswered.

Max Rushden is joined on the Guardian's Football Weekly video by Barry Glendenning, Jonathan Wilson and John Brewin to discuss the result and what it says about both clubs and the title race. The panel's full analysis is in the video. Details of the match itself are best checked against a full match report.
