Tottenham and Arsenal get Premier League title boost after what happened in Luton vs Liverpool

Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal were both handed a slight boost in their hopes of winning the Premier League title this season after rivals Liverpool drew 1-1 with Luton Town on Sunday. Spurs and the Gunners currently sit second and fourth respectively, with the former having a game in hand to play, facing Chelsea on Monday evening.

The Merseyside-based club are now above Arsenal on goals scored, with both teams accruing the same number of points, 24, and goal difference, 14. But Jurgen Klopp's men are two points behind Tottenham, who now have the chance to go five points above their title rivals if they beat Chelsea tomorrow.

The Lilywhites remain the only Premier League team yet to taste defeat in the league after Arsenal lost on Saturday, the first time they have done so this term. Mikel Arteta and Co were beaten 1-0 by Newcastle United thanks to a second-half Anthony Gordon strike.

Gordon's goal was checked extensively by VAR, with three potential offences looked at in the build-up. Gunners boss Mikel Arteta let his feelings known after the full-time whistle, criticising the officials in a fiery post-match press conference.

«We have to talk about the result because you have to talk about how the hell this goal stand ups and it’s incredible,» the Spaniard said. «I feel embarrassed but I have to be the one now coming here to try to defend the club and please ask for
