Liam Gallagher has welcomed Liverpool to the Premier League title race after Jurgen Klopp’s side moved to within a point of leaders Manchester City.
Despite being second best in the first half of the 2-0 win at Arsenal on Wednesday night, the Reds took control in the second period. Diogo Jota gave Liverpool the lead before Roberto Firmino added a second.
It means the Reds are now breathing down the neck of defending champions City, who Gallagher is a big fan of.

But it's not only the league title that Liverpool can win. Having already claimed the Carabao Cup, they remain in the hunt for the FA Cup and Champions League as well.
But taking to Twitter after Liverpool’s vital victory in north London, former Oasis frontman Gallagher wrote: “Welcome to the title race ya Bumbaclarts.”
Speaking after the game, Reds boss Klopp said: “I really don’t think a lot about City. That’s the truth. I know that the only chance we have is to win an incredible amount of football games because our opponents win an incredible amount of football games.
“There is not chance to drop. I said it before, in the last few years we pushed each other on insane levels. I forgot the number, but we only had 90-odd points because they had that many points – and they had it only because we had it. That’s the situation.
“It makes each game a final and you can enjoy it, absolutely, but you need to be ready for the intensity as well. I don’t think it’s a problem for a human being to be every three days completely focused on what you do but then comes the physical part, it makes you tired and you feel it here and there, so that’s what we are constantly fighting.
“City, we don’t fight City – we play City in three or four weeks, I don’t know exactly, and then we will give them hopefully a proper fight. Apart from that, we are in a good moment, we are in a mood, that’s all clear, but we know the only way to do it is to dig really deep.”
