But Odegaard's actions didn't go down well Carragher, who slammed the Arsenal skipper for the way he celebrated the three points.
On Sky Sports, he exclaimed: "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. I'm serious, honestly."
The Liverpool legend has continued to mock the Gunners by sharing a post online taunting Odegaard and Arteta.
On X, he reposted a video of a skit from Fantasy Football League.
It shows Matt Lucas, who plays Odegaard, asking Elis James, who plays Arteta, if they over celebrated their win against Liverpool, before going crazy after the Arsenal boss throws a piece of paper in the bin.

Odegaard, however, defended his side's celebrations on the pitch, which also included Arteta seemingly imitating Jurgen Klopp's trademark fist pumps.
"No, I think everyone who loves football, who understands football, they know how much it means to win this game," he said.
"We keep working hard and we prepare for the next one, but of course you have to be happy when you win.
"It was a massive game. It could have been eight points [the gap to Liverpool if Arsenal lost] and it would look a lot more difficult then, but we showed up, the fans were unbelievable.
"I think we all did this together. You see the club, how together we are, all the players, staff, supporters, everything. So yeah, brilliant to see."
