After the huge 3-1 win over Liverpool last month, Carragher took issue with Odegaard and club photographer, Stuart Macfarlane, taking pictures of each other on the Emirates Stadium pitch.

At the time, 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!”
