Arsenal optimistic in Premier League title race: Raya

LONDON: Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya believes his title-chasing side can catch Liverpool after closing the gap on the Premier League leaders. Mikel Arteta´s second-placed side moved within four points of Liverpool thanks to their stirring fightback in Wednesday´s 2-1 win against arch rivals Tottenham.

Trailing to Son Heung-min´s early opener, the Gunners drew level through Dominic Solanke´s own goal before Leandro Trossard fired the winner on the stroke of half-time. It was a much-needed victory for Arsenal, who had gone three games without one in all competitions -- a frustrating streak that included an FA Cup third round exit against 10-man Manchester United and a League Cup semi-final first leg loss to Newcastle.
