Jamie Carragher issues Arsenal verdict after 'absolutely outstanding' Liverpool win

Carragher praised Arsenal's defensive display after their 1-0 win at Anfield, calling them arguably Europe's best defensive team despite missing William Saliba.

Arsenal won 1-0 at Anfield for the first time in 14 Premier League years, with Kai Havertz scoring in the 16th minute. The victory moved the Gunners three points clear of Manchester City at the top of the table.

Liverpool dominated possession and created chances, but failed to register a single shot on target despite 17 attempts. Alexander Isak was denied a penalty when Jurrien Timber pulled his shirt in the box, and Alexis Mac Allister headed over from close range before half-time. Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya was never seriously tested.

Jamie Carragher hailed Arsenal's defensive performance on Sky Sports, describing them as "defensively, the best team in this country, arguably in Europe" despite the absence of William Saliba. He suggested their back four is entering the conversation with Arsenal's famous defensive units from the late 1980s and early 1990s.
