Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya believes his title-chasing side can catch Liverpool after closing the gap on the Premier League leaders. Mikel Arteta’s sec - ond-placed side moved within four points of Liverpool thanks to their stirring fightback in Wednesday’s 2-1 win against arch rivals Tottenham.
Trailing to Son Heung-min’s early opener, the Gunners drew level through Dominic Solanke’s own goal before Leandro Trossard fired the winner on the stroke of half-time.
It was a much-needed victory for Arsenal, who had gone three games without one in all competitions -- a frustrating streak that included an FA Cup third round exit against 10-man Manchester United and a League Cup semi-final first leg loss to Newcastle.
Liverpool are still title favourites as they hold a game in hand over Arsenal, but Raya is optimistic the north Londoners are capable of reeling in the leaders.
“Yes, of course. In football, everything can happen,” he said.
“Three weeks ago, people were saying that Liverpool had the title in their hands. But it is just football and everything changes in two or three matches.
