Liverpool's win at Arsenal gives them the momentum to eclipse Manchester City in Premier League chase

Momentum is a vital ingredient for any team chasing a league title and Liverpool are over-flowing with it right now. Manchester City don't have it and that's why, after Liverpool's 2-0 victory at Arsenal, Pep Guardiola's Premier League champions will be worrying that they may be about to finish second in what had seemed, not too long ago, like a one-horse race.

Second-half goals by Diogo Jota and Roberto Firmino at the Emirates secured Liverpool's ninth straight league win and moved them to just one point behind leaders City, who they face at the Etihad on April 10.
