The Premier League<\/a> title race just got a lot tighter and Liverpool great Jamie Carragher isn't too happy about it.<\/p>\n

Arsenal<\/a> benefited from two second-half errors from Liverpool<\/a> goalkeeper Alisson Becker to claim a 3-1 victory over the league leaders on Monday.<\/p>\n

Arsenal moved up to second place and just two points behind Liverpool after 23 of 38 games in what might shape up to be a three-way fight for the title.<\/p>\n

Carragher \ufeffwas not impressed with Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard's post match celebration, which included him taking pictures of club photographer Stuart MacFarlane in front of their fans.<\/p>\n

"Dear me, just get down the tunnel," Carragher said on Sky Sports post match.<\/p>\n

\"Arsenal<\/p>\n

"You've won a game, you got three points. You're back in the title race, get back down the tunnel."<\/p>\n

As for the title race, Manchester City is in third place, five points off Liverpool but with two games in hand, and the defending champions will likely be happy with the result at Emirates Stadium.<\/p>\n

Liverpool fell to only its second loss in the league, with the other also coming in north London \u2014 at Tottenham.<\/p>\n

If that defeat was in contentious circumstances, this one was of Liverpool's own making after being dominated for large parts of the game and because of the nature of Arsenal's crucial second goal in the 67th that made it 2-1.<\/p>\n

Alisson, widely seen as the league's best goalkeeper, came out of his area in an attempt to clear a long pass forward but kicked fresh air and the ball hit the back of covering defender Virgil van Dijk. Gabriel Martinelli had the simple task of tapping the loose ball into an empty net.<\/p>\n

The same Liverpool players had a role in a stoppage-time third, too, with Leandro Trossard's shot deflecting off the outstretched boot of Van Dijk and going through the legs of Alisson as he tried to make the save at his near post.<\/p>\n

Liverpool was down to 10 men at that point after Ibrahima Konate's sending off for two yellow cards.<\/p>\n

Bukayo Saka gave Arsenal the lead in the 14th minute, only for Arsenal defender Gabriel Magalhaes to score an own-goal when the ball struck his hand and flew into the net.<\/p>\n

That pulled Liverpool level at half-time, despite the visitors not having a shot on goal in the first half in what was a below-par display overall by the leaders.<\/p>\n

\"Liverpool<\/p>\n

\u201cIt just shows the boys are human beings,\u201d Klopp said.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday we were really human.\u201d<\/p>\n

Arsenal is back in sight of the lead after a third straight win, which came after a run of three consecutive losses in all competitions that led to doubts over the title credentials of last season's runner-up.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were top at Christmas and then had a few sloppy results," Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice said. "We seem to have ourselves back on the right track.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
