Liverpool’s Jamie Carragher has insisted that the race for the title is far from over and that they won’t let their scintillating win over Chelsea last night, go to their heads.
A 11th minute goal by Xabi Alonso was enough to ensure that the Reds emerged victorious at Stamford Bridge to reach the top of the Premier League table with a gap of three points against second placed Chelsea.
At the start of the season the club insisted that this could be the season where the Merseyside club could end their 18-year title drought and they definitely look to be working hard to achieve their target.
30- year old Carragher is as desperate as the rest of the squad to bring the title to Anfield, but insisted that they should focus on every match rather then long term planning.
Speaking to the clubs official website Carragher said, "Before today Chelsea were playing as well as anyone in Europe.
"To come here and win should give our confidence a boost but we realise there's a long way to go yet.
"Their record was never going to go on forever, they were always going to lose at some point, and I'm just glad it was us who managed to beat them.
"We are top of the table but as I said, there's a long way to go.
"Over recent years Chelsea and United have been towards the top while we and Arsenal were trying to get involved and challenge.
"Hopefully we can bridge the gap this season."
Rafael Benitez’s side have already beaten Manchester United at Anfield last month and would like to continue this form of theirs when they play against Arsenal in December.
