Declan Rice responds to Premier League title talk after Liverpool win

Arsenal Beat Liverpool 1-0 as Declan Rice Keeps Premier League Title Race Open Arsenal left Anfield with a 1-0 win, three points and a reminder that the Premier League title race still has a long way to go. Liverpool were beaten by Kai Havertz's first half goal, a simple finish from Declan Rice's cross, and the table now looks far healthier for Arsenal than it does for the home side.

The goal came in the 16th minute. Rice found space and delivered to the back post, Havertz arrived and converted.

It was basic, effective, and enough. Arsenal then did what serious teams do away from home in these games.

They defended, stayed compact and managed difficult moments without panic. Liverpool had spells, but spells do not win title races.

They lacked incision, lacked calm in key areas and never truly made Arsenal collapse. At times Arsenal rode their luck, that much is true, but luck tends to visit organised teams more often than disorganised ones.

Declan Rice Sends Clear Premier League Message After the match, Rice struck a measured tone. While others rushed to deliver verdicts on Liverpool's title hopes, he went the sensible route.

He said: "Like you said, we've not won here in 14 years, so we got off to a very good start. We could have probably done a little bit more as well in front of goal but in the end, that defensive line, the way we stick together, that togetherness we have, it's like nothing I've ever seen before.

If you're there or thereabouts, then you know you're in with a shout. Anything now between now and then, you've got to win as many as you can.

Liverpool Defeat Leaves Gap Looking Serious The numbers matter. Arsenal are now three points clear of Manchester City at the top."
