Liverpool have given Arsenal hope in title race – Gary Neville

Manchester United legend, Gary Neville, has claimed that Arsenal have “hope” in the Premier League title race, despite Liverpool’s 2-1 win over Wolves on Sunday.

The Gunners had cut the lead between them and the leaders to four points, after Mikel Merino came off the bench to score twice against Leicester City on Saturday.

But on Sunday, the Reds held on for a 2-1 win over Wolves, to restore a seven-point gap at the top.

Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah had scored for Liverpool, but Matheus Cunha’s fine effort in the 67th minute, ensured the rest of the match was nervy.

“I think it was a good day for Liverpool,” Neville told Sky Sports.

“I even think it was half a good day for Arsenal with Liverpool, who just got over the line against a Wolves team who I thought were fantastic, having Aston Villa away and Man City away coming up.

“Sometimes you get a game like that when you are going for a title at home when people think you are going to turn up and win easy. You are 2-0 up and you think you are going to go on and score three or four, but it turns out to be a difficult afternoon.

“We’ve all had these types of games and that is why it is a good result for Liverpool.

“But also, that is why Arsenal will look at it and think it was a tight game and a slender victory, which will give them some hope.”
