Martin Odegaard has responded to criticism from Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher regarding his celebrations after Arsenal’s victory against the Merseysiders.

Carragher expressed his disapproval of Odegaard’s post-match celebrations, particularly his interaction with the club’s photographer, following Arsenal’s 3-1 win over Jürgen Klopp’s Reds on Sunday (February 4).

The Sky Sports pundit suggested that Odegaard should have promptly headed for the tunnel, stating, “Just get down the tunnel, you’ve won a game, it’s three points…You’ve been brilliant, you’re back in the title race. Get down the tunnel.”

In defense of his actions, Odegaard explained that his team was simply elated with their crucial victory against Liverpool, stating, “If you’re not allowed to celebrate when you win a game, when are you allowed to celebrate? We will stay humble and focus on the next one, but… we were just happy.”

Mikel Arteta’s side’s triumph was significant, as it narrowed the gap between them and Klopp’s men to just two points at the top of the Premier League table. The victory saw Bukayo Saka opening the scoring at the Emirates before Gabriel Magalhaes’ own goal just before halftime.

However, Arsenal secured the win in the second half with goals from Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard, marking only the second league defeat of the season for Liverpool.
