Jamie Carragher believes that Arsenal did exactly what was necessary to keep themselves in the title race after their dramatic 1-0 win over Burnley on Sunday afternoon.
After a goalless first half in which Arsene Wenger’s men struggled to break down a stubborn Burnley side, substitute Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain bundled the ball over the line with the last kick of the game after it fell to him from a cross.
Manchester City had dropped their first Premier League points of the season on Sunday afternoon as Tottenham Hotspur secured a 2-0 win at White Hart Lane.
That result presented Arsenal with the opportunity to close the gap to the leaders down to two points.
And Liverpool legend Carragher insisted that Arsenal simply had to win the game if they wanted to keep themselves in the title race.
Speaking on Sky Sports after the final whistle, Carragher said:
“It’s massive.“Today, getting that result with a last-minute win after what happened at White Hart Lane…"if it had been a draw you would have been looking at it already and thinking that it’s a big gap for Arsenal to make up even at this early stage.”
