Jamie Carragher not impressed by wholesome moment between Martin Odegaard and Arsenal photographer
Martin Odegaard enjoyed a wholesome moment with an Arsenal photographer after their win over Liverpool - but Jamie Carragher didn't rate it.
The Gunners breathed new life into their title bid with a 3-1 win over a drab Reds side on Sunday - a result that leaves them just two points off the top of the Premier League table.

At full time the scenes were one of elation at the Emirates Stadium with the Arsenal players keen to soak up the joy of it all.
That included captain Odegaard, who decided to change his role for a brief moment by taking a picture of one of their club photographers, Stuart Macfarlane.
Macfarlane is something of a club cult hero after his pre-match team talk that inspired Arsenal to victory over Tottenham in September 2021 was documented in Arsenal's All or Nothing Amazon Prize series.
The watching Arsenal fans loved what they saw, however, Carragher was far from impressed.

While watching both Odegaard and Macfarlane take pictures of each other, Carragher said: "Just get down the tunnel, you've won a game.
"Three points, you've been brilliant, back in the title race. Get down the tunnel!"
Later on Sunday evening Carragher made light of his comments as he changed his profile picture on X, formerly known as Twitter, to a picture of Odegaard with the camera.
He also used an iconic quote from Neil Warnock to show he was partly making his point in jest. "By all means enjoy it, but enjoy it by being disciplined!"

Moments later, Warnock responded: "Love listening to your opinions Carra, but get your own catchphrase!"
Arsenal were good value for their triumph as goals from Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard sealed the three points.
Saka put them ahead on 14 minutes when he finished on the rebound but Liverpool got level completely against the run of play following a calamitous own goal by Gabriel.
But the away side had their own horror defensive moment as a mix-up between Virgil van Dijk and Alisson gifted Martinelli an easy finish as Arsenal retook the lead.
Meanwhile, Alisson didn't cover himself in glory when Trossard fired the ball through his legs in stoppage time.
