What Jurgen Klopp said to Mikel Arteta at full-time speaks volumes of Arsenal title chances

Jurgen Klopp's comments to Mikel Arteta at full-time spoke volumes of Arsenal's chances of winning a first Premier League title since 2004. The Gunners picked up a crucial point against Liverpool after an intense game at Anfield to maintain their position at the top of the Premier League.

Gabriel Magalhaes' header opened the scoring for the visitors before Mohamed Salah fired home to equalise for the Reds. Martin Odegaard was lucky to escape punishment for handling the ball inside his own penalty box, whilst Trent Alexander-Arnold missed a glorious chance to win the game late on.

An intense fixture on Merseyside sees Liverpool remain a single point behind Arsenal with some big fixtures to come heading into the new year. Speaking after the 1-1 draw at Anfield, Arteta said: “An unbelievable game of football, one of the most intense I've witnessed in 20 years in this league.

“For many moments we were on top, in the last 20 minutes we wanted it more, but a draw is a fair result. We were determined to attack and cause them problems.

«They are a team who cause chaos, they are so vertical and direct. They are the best in the world at doing that.”

In his post-match interview, Klopp was just as impressed with the intensity of the game and the strength Arsenal showed to not buckle under the pressure at Anfield. “Oh my god, how strong are they? The good news is we are good as well,» the Liverpool boss said.
