London (AP) – Liverpool FC is back in the race for the English football championship. Coach Jürgen Klopp’s team won 2-0 (0-0) at Arsenal in London, who were also in good form recently.
This puts Liverpool in the Premier League after 29 games just one point behind leaders and defending champions Manchester City coached by Pep Guardiola. Third-placed Chelsea, who have reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League, are now ten points behind Liverpool.
Diogo Jota (54th minute) and former Bundesliga professional Roberto Firmino (62nd) put the guests on course for success against Arsenal within a few minutes of the second half after goalkeeper Alisson Becker had initially prevented a deficit. For Liverpool it was the ninth success in a row in the league.
