Arsenal 1-1 Liverpool highlights
Sun 17 Apr 2011
FULL-TIME Arsenal 1-1 Liverpool
“Ouch. Agony to ecstasy and back again for Arsenal. A setback too far and, barring a dramatic turnaround, another trophyless season appears to lie in wait for them. A deserved point, meanwhile, for Liverpool.”

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger:
“I feel hard done by at the end because time was over. Extra time should have been eight minutes. And I don’t think it was a penalty at all but Lucas played in an intelligent way, he stopped his run in front of Emmanuel Eboue. [But] we have to take it [the draw] and continue to fight.”

Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish’s reaction to that staggering draw:
“What my team did at the end epitomised what they did all day. You lose two players to injury, we had two young boys playing at full-back, Jonjo Shelvey was just coming back, we lost a centre-forward, everything was battling against us and they still remained committed to get something from the game. That’s fantastic. You can maybe play better but you won’t find a more committed team than the one out there today.”

PENALTY TO ARSENAL
GOAL Arsenal 1-0 Liverpool (Van Persie pen)
Arsenal goal: Staggering. Seven minutes into stoppage time and Jay Spearing ends Cesc Fabregas’s mazy run into the box with a trip – it’s a blatant penalty – and eight minutes into stoppage time Robin van Persie keeps his head to steer home the spot-kick. The Emirates erupts and the title race is back on in a big, big way.
UNBELIEVABLE!
PENALTY TO LIVERPOOL
GOAL Arsenal 1-1 Liverpool (Kuyt pen)
Liverpool goal: Speechless. As the clock ticks over the 100th minute, Liverpool’s Luis Suarez swings a free-kick in from the edge of the area and as the ball bobbles around the Arsenal box Emmanuel Eboue inexplicably hauls Lucas down in the box. Referee Andre Marriner gives his second penalty of injury time and Dirk Kuyt slams it home with the very last kick of the game. Extra, extraordinary.
